India is a diverse country with many states, each with its own unique traditions and culture. This leads to a wide variety of festivals celebrated throughout the year, including Navratri and Diwali. Today, I'd like to talk about Navratri, a festival celebrated in the month of October. For ten days, people engage in a vibrant dance called Garba with their friends at night. They wear colorful and traditional attire, with girls often wearing chaniya cholis and boys wearing kurtas and dhotis. Many people also observe a fast for these ten days, consuming only fruits and milk. Some also enjoy special foods like sabudana dishes. The Garba dance is performed around an idol of the goddess Durga. In villages, Garba is celebrated in a more traditional manner, while in cities, groups and organizations put together elaborate arrangements for the festivities. However, in recent years, there has been a rise in vulgar activities in some urban areas, which can be concerning for women attending these events.
