Navratri in Baroda - Celebration of Garba in Vadodara 2012

Navratri in Baroda

If you want to truly enjoy the tradition of Raas garba then Vadodara is a place to be in. This is one place where all the traditions are followed during the performance of Raas Garba. This is one festival, which takes place all night and the entire city is at it. From kids to elder to even young people, everybody is at it enjoying and having fun.

Specialty of Vadodara Navratri

One of the key points that need mention is the fact unlike garba in other cities or states, garba is performed in a circle form in Vadodara. Therefore, sometimes it takes one-two hours to complete a round of the ground. Hence, there are no groups at all. Many people who visit their relatives often do not attend garba celebrations because of the lack of partners or the fact that they do not have a group. But in Vadodara, this is never a problem. You can also listen to the melodious music of the famous singer Shri Atul Purohit and his Rutumbhara group. Hence, whether you are a native of the city or an outsider, you can always join the garba celebration and enjoy yourself.

Gujarati Garba in Baroda

One must be in Vadodara to enjoy true festive spirit of garba. Unlike Mumbai wherein the steps are quite complex and therefore people who have not practiced cannot participate; Vadodara based garba is simple and therefore gives a chance to everybody to participate. So, if you want to witness the traditional garba as it was years ago then visit Vadodara and witness the beauty of the city along with the traditions alive.
