The month of August sees a start of festivities in the Hindu calendar. There is festive fervor all around and people are buzzing with happiness.

The best part of this festival is! It is none other than the quintessential Garba dress!

I believe more than anything else it is the heavily embroidered and colorful Garba dress is what makes the festival a cult favorite for all age groups. Having said that, it gives young mommies another fabulous chance to dress up their little versions in the most vibrant and beautiful colors.

The foot-tapping music, the excitement to meet your loved ones is reason enough to step out of your homes to enjoy the reverie of this festival. However, with the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, most Garba events stand canceled across the country. Since there is a nationwide restriction on group assemblies all outdoor Garba events have gone for a toss.

But that does not prevent you from organizing a small Garba night at your home only. Just call on some of your friends who have kids, so that you can also have a great time. And on the other hand, the kids can have a Garba play date!! Sounds exciting enough for a plan? Organizing such a party can also be a breather for kids who are stuck at home due to the ongoing pandemic and are feeling a little overwhelmed with online classes as well.

The soul of Gujarat, the joy of Garba

Garba is all about getting dressed up in lehenga choli adorning the most flashy colors and accessories. Dancing on the beats of music and tapping on the most urban yet peppy numbers is what makes this festival even more special. So what if you are not going out, getting dressed up still counts as an activity. As no Garba night (home or out) is complete without a Garba dress. And while you are at it, you might as well want to dress up your kids also. Take it from me that he/she would want to be part of these festivities rather than just be a spectator. So why not be prepared with the best and bring on a big smile to your toddler’s face
