Navratri is one of the most vibrant and joyous festival celebrated in the northern part of India. The word ‘Navratri’ translates to ‘nine nights’ celebrated in the honour of Hindu goddess Durga. During the celebration of nine days, devotees perform the Garba dance, as an act of worshipping the Hindu deity. While Garba is popular in all parts of the country, it carries a special significance in the state of Gujarat, considering it originated from the North Western state.
