Celebrating Navratri has always been exciting from me back in California. I can recall weeks of excitement, going from Cal Poly Pamona Garba Rass to UCLA’s to Irvine’s, etc. This year I was privileged enough to celebrate Navratri the right way, in Gujarat!! Two of the Service Fellows, who are located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, home of the biggest Navratri celebrations, kindly opened their doors to us like family. Four other fellows joined us from different cities and seven of us got to spend the weekend enjoying each other’s much missed company and the exciting tradition of dancing for Navratri.
Navratri is a Hindu Festival of worship and dance. Navratri means nine days, in which the goddesses of Hindu religion are celebrated.
Included are pictures of us dressed up for the occasion as well as others who were wearing the traditional dress with all their beautiful colors.
