40,000 People Dancing in India! Garba Festival in Gujarat!

Thanks to the Gujurat Tourism Board, we got vip access to the United Way of Baroda Garba Festival.  We arrived a little early and thrre were just a few people in the center dancing area.  As time went on, more and more people showed up and soon they started dancing.  Before we knew it there were 40,000 people all moving in unison to the music.   Everyone was dressed in their best Garba outfits which is actually a requirement to participate.  Also we found out the cost for men to participate is five times as much as women.  That didn't stop 20,000 men from dancing all night. What a sight, like nothing I've ever need before.  Definitely the highlight of our time in Gujurat. Gujurat Tourism TravelSeeWrite Bemused Backpacker Purnima Sharma Faizan Patel Photography
