Navratri is perhaps the most anticipated event of the calendar for Indians hailing from the state of Gujarat. 'Nav' means 'nine' and 'ratri' means 'night', thus, 'Navratri' means 'nine nights'. There are many legends attached to the conception of Navratri like all Indian festivals but all of them are related to Goddess Amba (Hindu Mother Goddess) and her various forms. Navratri is an offering of thanks to the Goddess Amba for a plentiful harvest and is heavily associated with India's agrarian roots.
Navratri is celebrated by performing a traditional Gujarati folk dance called "garba". Garba is a form of dance where people dance in rhytmic circles around the Goddess Amba. At every step the dancers gracefully bend sideways, with their arms coming together in beautiful sweeping gestures, and each movement ending in a clap. In addition to garba, Navratri is also celebrated by performing a dance called "dandiya rass". Dandiya rass is a dance performed in a group using sticks to match the beat of the dhol (drum). This dance has a very complicated rhythm which begins at a slow pace, but quickly develops such that each person in the circle not only performs a solo dance with his own sticks, but also with others in the group. The end result of thousands adorned in colourful outfits joyously performing a graceful dance to the beat of the dhol is truly breathtaking.
