There are a lot of stories and anecdotes about Navratri and Durga Puja, and the lessons are not just about vanquishing the enemy or battlefield tactics, but also about the cultural heritage, devotion for the superpower, and belief that all’s well that ends well.
Navratri – Festival celebrates the Prowess of Goddess Durga (Shakti), and her victory over Mahishasur. Nav + ratri – 9 nights, entails removing worldly anxieties.
It was the third day of Navratri, on 6th October, depicted by “Chandraghanta”, known to not underestimate the capabilities of daughters, to encourage them, make them courageous, and give them equal opportunities.
Garba is a folk dance from Gujarat, that symbolizes the cycle of life and the idea that God, represented as the feminine divine, is the only constant in a changing universe. The dancers honor Durga by circling the lantern/earthern lamp, which represents life and the fetus in the womb. Women are the main performers of Garba, but we also saw some men dancing elegantly to the tunes of the music.
120 minutes of non-stop music, fun, and entertainment was occasionally intercepted by the lucky wheel turns. 5 Lucky Winners were announced randomly. Winners were awarded with gifts.
In the room, people adorned in Gujarati attire were dancing all around to the tunes of Bollywood songs like “Ghoomer” and “Tere Bin.” The sweet voices of “Jai Ambe Jai Ambe” filled the atmosphere with devotion. The entire Cafeteria resonated with the sound of dandiya as everyone danced together. This festival showed us that when people come together in one place, the colors of love, faith, and cultural diversity flourish.
