Hii friends.
India is a traditional country and we all celebrate many of the festivals in India. Navratri is one of the popular festivals of India. Navratri, meaning ‘nine nights’, is one of the most popular celebrated Hindu festivals in many parts of India. Each night, all over the state, villages, and cities, people gather in open spaces to celebrate feminine divinity, referred to as Shakti. But this festival is beautifully celebrated with the traditional way in Gujarat. I like that festival very much because I like the dandiya and garba dance.
After my college all friend busy in their works. we were trying to meet our friends on one day but not possible to come all of the girls. Then we have planned a trip for Navratri festival in Gujarat .there are five friends in my group. we were packed our bags to travel.. Then that day we met on the platform at 6pm and our train time at 7 PM. I was very happy to see again my all group together. after meets friend all talking about trip how can we plan for garba and all that.
The train is coming and we all take our sits. But I had doubt in my mind how can we participate in this event with attire. I want to enjoy this festival Because I only listen about that but I did not participate in garba dance. Finally, we were reached Gujrat. Gujrat is very beautiful. we were seeing every place events’ posters and festival environment.
Then we wear searching for garba dance attire. After searching for more boutique finally, we got that outfits with jewelry. I really don’t know about their outfit and jewelry. I want to know more. I was started to asking her questions. And she was talking about Navratri and their garba dance attire.
Navratri means Nine days of dance, music, puja, and colors and is one of the popular festivals of India. Both men and women usually wear colorful costumes while performing garba and dandiya. The girls and the women wear Chaniya choli, a three-piece dress with a choli, which is an embroidered and colorful blouse, teamed with chaniya, which is the flared, skirt-like bottom, and dupatta, which is usually worn in the traditional Gujarati manner. I saw garba attire it was so beautiful, it is literally made for garba and dandiya dance. These Chaniya Cholis are decorated with beads, shells, mirrors, stars, and embroidery work, mati, etc. with thick Gujarati borders. and its really heavy attire.but its nice feeling to wear it.

Traditionally, women adorn themselves with jhumkas, necklaces, bindi, bajubandh, chudas and kangans, kamarbandh, payal, and mojiris. . There is more jewelry for garba dance. This jewelry was a different type of jewelry which I was does not wear any time.
Then we collect our attire and jewelry for garba dance. We all very happy because we all participating garba in Gujrat in the traditional way. we also wear heavy jewelry, such as 2-3 necklaces, sparkling bangles, waist belts, and long oxidized earrings When we were ready for garba we look so different in this attire and so beautiful.
After that, we were going for the event . on that night I saw the different type of garba dance. The shrine includes a garbo, an earthenware pot, in which a betel nut, coconut, and silver coin are placed. Each night the village or urban neighborhood gathers to perform a puja to one of the nine forms of Goddess After the puja begins the music; it is unmistakable to those who are familiar with the style and irresistible to many. People begin to dance in a circle, whirling away till late into the night. I really enjoy all these things.
Navratri is traditionally a Hindu festival, but it’s not unheard of to find non-Hindus having fun with their friends at a garba.
