The greatest blessing that Garba and Raas events bring is the wide age range of the people attending and participating. It is fortunate that here are dance forms which have people from the age of two to the age of eighty, all gathered in one place for an evening of dancing, singing and playing.
And not just dance, but moving and blending amidst great devotion, the devotion for the elders, devotion for the divine, all participants in a sacred and spiritual happening, whether dancing, sitting or posing.
And here are the children and the teenagers, hopefully not all bored or on their phones and pods and pads, but many flowing and fluttering, beaming and grinning, enthralled by the extravaganza, enchanted by this dancing, surprised at this devotion, gazing in wonder upon the splendor.
The older people are delighted in seeing the children and teenagers engaged in a devotional and cultural activity. They see a whole community of their family and friends and wider society immersed in communion, all having a wonderful time, taking this chance to meet and greet, tease and please, all in tune and harmony with all others.

All this wrapped up in fun and laughter. Something for mostly all, including the adorned garba princesses, the prancing princes, not to mention some glittering queens
