Garba is a circular dance devoted to celebration of fertility and the feminine. The Raas or Dandiya Raas is a stick dance played by a group of evenly numbered dancers.

In the main Garba and Raas dances take place during the quarterly Navratri festivals of Nine Days and Nine Nights in worship of the Divine Feminine

The dances take place in various settings from small courtyards, and big halls to vast grounds, with between 200 to over 20,000 people  attending.

Garba and Raas  happenings have people from the age of two to the age of eighty, playing, singing and watching

Rich colours and patterns, a dazzling display of gaudiness and glory, transcending any bling anytime anyplace anywhere

The music of Garba and Raas is folk music. Each composition  is about 15 to 20 Minutes and has a mellow beginning, a sumptuous middle and a rapturous ending.

Delicious,nourishing and yummy, the cuisine of the dance, looks good and tastes great

Asia,  Africa,  America,  Australia,  Europe and many places in between. Garba events take place in over 500 cities all over the world.
