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 mingling and blending in delicious devotion, devotion for the elders, devotion for the divine and devotion for the happening. There are representations of love for the youth, religious themes for the older, philosophy and arts for the learned and Goddesses for the assurance of wealth and prosperity for the business minded. There is also the power and might of the goddesses worshipped and the mock battles with sticks. 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.
Children many flowing and fluttering, beaming and grinning, enthralled by the extravaganza, enchanted by the dancing
children
Children many flowing and fluttering, beaming and grinning, enthralled by the extravaganza, enchanted by this dancing, surprised at this devotion. Gazing in wonder at this spectacle and splendor. Children do not generally get the chance to dance and prance in radiance and abundance.They like to play and jump around and dance is ideal to allow them to express themselves and to release their energy. Children are generally told to behave and keep still and their natural exuberance is discouraged and dampened. Children having fun, running around, jumping, twirling, and a leaping? God forbid !
Dancers of all ages and sizes and shapes
Come and dance, shine and show, flow and glow
Baubles bangles and beads
