Please Log inA Garba is typically held a day before the wedding. This event is a colorful and fun-filled party, usually involving dancing "Garba," a traditional dance of Gujarat, India.
Garba is performed in a circle. The circle represents the Hindu view of time. In Hinduism, time is cyclical. As the cycle of time revolves, from birth to life to death to rebirth, the only thing that is constant is the Goddess, an unmoving symbol in the midst of all of this unending and infinite movement. The dance symbolizes that God, represented in feminine form in this case, and is the only thing that remains unchanging in a constantly changing universe.
As garba is part of a religious practice, as with other Hindu rituals and worship, it is done barefoot (and on all kinds of surfaces). Going barefoot signifies respect for the earth upon which people walk.
The wedding ceremony is meant to unite not only the couple but the two families as well. It's as much a celebration of two families coming together as it is a celebration of the sacred love and commitment between the couple.
This event will be preceded by the Baraat at 10:00 am- a celebratory wedding procession for the groom involving live music and dancing.
