These Gujarati folk singers add the much-needed zeal to our Garba & Dandiya nights during Navratri!

Unless Gujarati folk singers add melodious tunes to light up the vibe of Navratri, the festival looks much incomplete. Hence, we are here to talk about some of them who have always enlightened the festival. Have a look!

Be it families, groups of friends, or individuals, many wait for Navratri to arrive so that they can dance their hearts out on the beats of popular Gujarati folk singers! Remember how the most popular Garba singer, Falguni Pathak, got us grooved on her songs? Though, since the pandemic hit, the celebrations no longer remained the same, and 2020 saw no such performers during Navratri. With the rules a bit relaxed in 2021, small events are being organized in several parts of the country and these singers seem to have got back to their work with people dancing on their tunes again. Here's a small attempt to bring to light these singers who make our Garba and dandiya nights unforgettable!
