Garba is a dance that comes from the Indian state of Gujarat. The name is derived from the Sanskrit term Garbha (“womb”) and Deep (“a small earthenware lamp”). Raas or Dandiya Raas is a folk dance also from Gujarat. It is also performed in the Marwar region of Rajasthan. Both styles of dance are performed during Navratri by participants dressed in brightly coloured outfits. Dancers perform in circles, with everyone following the choreography in sync. | Navratri celebrations in Dubai in 2019. Image Credit: Virendra Saklani/Gulf News
