At Garba and Raas dances, some rare few will flow into ecstatic trance and lose control and appear possessed. They will dance and move as if they are no longer themselves, as if some mysterious thing has happened to them and they can no longer be held accountable for their actions and movements.

The songs and tunes played when dancing Raas have different connotations and meanings and many of them refer to the escapades of Lord Krsna in his youth. The dance took its most popular form during the Raas Leela dance which took place between Krsna and the Gopis in the forests of Vrandavan by the banks of the Yamuna river.
