Grounded in traditions yet undeniably fun, Gujarati weddings are a perfect portrayal of their colorful culture, warm hospitality and delectable vegetarian cuisine. From twirling bandhani outfits to fun wedding games, and of course, a whole lot of garba, there is never a dull moment.
Equivalent to the ‘baraat,’ the groom travels to the bride’s home or the wedding venue on a magnificently decked horse as his relatives dance along with him on the way. Upon reaching, the groom and his family are welcomed by the bride’s mother with sweets and aarti in the ‘jaan’ ritual. In a fun custom, the bride’s mother then lightly pinches the groom’s nose to remind him to be humble since he is there to ask for her daughter’s hand, as he playfully tries to avoid getting caught.

And now for something completely different! My Missus goes to Gujarat in India four times a year for work, and the last time she was there was during Navratri. She was invited to a Garba dance festival and picked up this dress. I can't imagine she'd wear it again over here, so I thought I'd borrow it for myself
women playing 'garba', a popular folk dance of gujarat where they move around in a circle, clapping and with specific rhythm according to beat of the drum.
finishing 'sitra mata pooja' and related religious rituals, people gather around to play this 'garba'. for most of the people (even here in india), 'navratri festival' is nothing else but playing 'garba' (that too after the dark).

after the prayers and 'bhajans', people play 'garba' around their god with full zest and variations in the flow of their movements. this 'garba' is typical gujarati folk-dance specially played during the navratri festival held to worship power of goddess 'amba maa'.
ps.: see 'chaitri norta #1' for the festival description.
