Garba with GujjuRocks

The Navratri/Dandia Raas Festival is a vibrant, colorful and exciting time for the Gujarati and Indian Community around the world. The GUJJUROCKS LTD. takes great pride in being able to share its cultural heritage in CANADA through festivals like Navratri / Dandia Raas. Navratri / Dandia Raas is a popular festival in India. Navratri means nine days. These nine auspicious days are celebrated by communities getting together for nightly dances and feasts. This is celebrated once a year, around September- October. The dances enjoyed by the community during Navratri involve Dandiya (playing with two sticks) and Garba. These dances represent Gujarati folk dances, performed on traditional Gujarati folk music, enjoyed not only by the Gujarati community but by the wider community from the Indian sub-continent and the Canadian community. This year, the auspicious days of Navaratri will be celebrated at Brampton Soccer Centre, Brampton on 11th October 2019. The event consists of playing traditional “Garba” and “Dandiya Raas” which are very popular amongst the Indian community in Canada. The proposed one-day event will be with a live band.
