WHEN CHENNAI GROOVED TO GARBA BEATS

Times of India 06.10.2019

Just like how kolu is synonymous with Navaratri, dandiya raas and garba are also an integral part of the celebration for many. And Chennaiites made sure they went all out to ring in the festivities by swaying to some groovy dandiya beats. Many associations, building societies and even malls in the city organised garba celebrations, and men and women, youngsters and elders, and even kids alike made the most of the dandiya night. The evening was also a lesson in style — from colourful headgear and frilled saris to heavily embroidered and embellished lehengas and dupattas, and even half-dhoti-half-lehengas, women put their best fashion foot forward. For some, the occasion was not just to make merry; a dance group from Sowcarpet performed garba with helmets on their heads because they wanted to encourage people to use helmets for their safety. Talk about having fun while spreading awareness!
