Navaratri
October
Ahmedabad, Gujarat
Nine uninterrupted nights of dancing to the garba, with dandiyas, and gyrating to the beats of traditional music and latest Bollywood chartbusters, is what signifies Navratri today. But this festival is wider than just dressing up in indigenously crafted, vibrant, bejewelled outfits and dancing the night away. The pivotal point is to celebrate the victory of good over evil.
