While Garba and Dandiya are often performed together during Navratri, they are distinct:

Garba: Traditionally performed before the aarti (ritual worship), Garba involves clapping, twirling, and circular movements around the central lamp or deity. It is softer and devotional.

Dandiya Raas: Performed after the aarti, Dandiya uses decorated sticks (dandiyas) that dancers strike together in rhythm. It represents the mock-battle between Goddess Durga and the demon Mahishasura.

Together, Garba and Dandiya balance devotion with festivity, making Navratri a holistic celebration. Gujarati Garba Lyrics, Gujarati Garba Song, Best Gujarati Garba, Best Gujarati Garba Song, navratri aarti, navratri aarti lyrics, Ambe Maa Ni Aarti
