Communities come together to dance in unison during garba, a seemingly simple dance, where the crowd moves together in a synchronized circular movement. Apart from religious and traditional significance, during these nine days, people show their best moves and do the garba and dandiya. One can hear the constant noise of sticks and dhols all over Gujarat for the nine long days.
