Garba celebrates life, unity, and feminine divinity, blending ancient ritual with vibrant communal joy. 

Garba serves as a social equalizer—open to everyone and widely performed not only during Navratri but also at festivals, weddings, and celebrations in India and among the international Gujarati diaspora. The practice strengthens social bonds and is transmitted across generations, with formal workshops and competitions held globally. UNESCO recognized Garba as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2023 for its inclusive tradition and cultural significance.
