  “Garba is to express….not to impress.” Garba is a Gujarati folk dance celebrated in Navratri, a celebration lasting nine nights. It is a dance that honours, worships and celebrates the feminine form of divinity. The word “garba” comes from the Sanskrit word garbha, meaning “womb”. It is performed to honour the Hindu Deity of Divinity, Goddess Durga.  A “Garba activity” was organised for the students of GRADE I&II, in which they all came delightfully dressed up.
