Garba in Gujarat

 It is amazing to see Gujarat during this period.I do not have much idea about other times but it becomes so vibrant during navratri. I found young girls going out on scooters and scootees all alone at night around 12.30 to 1.00. Many a times you see two young girls going out alone on a scooter  either going to attend a graba or returning from a garba celebration.I wish all other states in India could boast of such security for women.There is garba in each colony and every one including men, boys ,girls and women participate. There is such a cohesive, community feeling and there is a lot of mixing among different boys and girls.Even the servants who come to work have been provided one bedroom houses near colonies and they have their own garba dances and come to work the next day having danced late night the previous day. Each and every society has its own garba celebration and one can hear a lot of music through out at least till 1.30 or 2.00.It is fun to be in Gujarat  during navratri and there are some lessons for the rest of the country. Here is a video of the garba in a society where my sister lives.
