As the 10-day Dasara celebrations almost draw to an end, Dandiya and Garba dance events have been lined up at many venues across the city for the last two days. While some of them went on for all of 10 days, others have opened the floor for three or five days. Dance enthusiasts from all age groups have pulled out their dance sticks and attires for the events.
Even though the COVID norms are relaxed this year, keeping in mind the large groups of people who will assemble, organisers are taking precautionary steps. “We have a traditional band who come from Gujarat and play for this Navaratri. This year, we are keeping it very simple and traditional while trying to maintain COVID protocols as per the government guidelines,” said Mohita Chhag owner of NM Events, which has organised Navlee Navaratri (Dandiya event) in Seshadripuram.
At ‘Raas Anand Utsav’, which has been organised by Sri Jai Ambe Charitable Trust in Palace Grounds, a special ‘Chair Garba’ has been arranged for senior citizens (aged 60 and above), to provide them with a comfortable dance experience.
