Why Garba Matters: The Significance of Navratri Dance

Garba is more than dance—it’s a ritual steeped in devotion to Goddess Durga, symbolizing the eternal rhythm of life. During Navratri, communities gather to dance in circles, representing the cyclic nature of time and energy.

It’s a beautiful, spiritual, and social way of honoring the divine feminine, and reconnecting with cultural heritage.
