PM Modi extended his gratitude to the talented singer Purva Mantri for her rendition of the Garba. He lauded her as an “upcoming, talented singer” and praised her for presenting a beautiful and melodic version of the song. This touching collaboration adds a unique cultural flavor to the ongoing Navratri celebrations.
Garba, a traditional dance from Gujarat, holds special significance during the Navratri festival. The dance is a vibrant expression of devotion to Goddess Durga, with participants performing in colorful attire while dancing in circles around a symbolic representation of the deity. This form of celebration is widely recognized and performed across India, particularly in Gujarat, where Garba is integral to the festivities.
PM Modi’s personal involvement through his written Garba song has resonated with many, adding a meaningful cultural contribution to this year’s Navratri celebration.
