Festivals and celebrations have always been an integral part of Indian culture. With Ganpati festivities almost over, people have already started gearing up from Navratri. The best part about the Navratri festival is the dandiya and garba dance that happens usually in the evening where people from all walks of life come together and dance their heart out. In literal words, Nav means Nine and ratri means Night. So, it is basically a celebration of nine nights. However, Navratri is not just about coming together and dancing to the beats of the music. It also symbolizes the nine forms of Goddess Durga and the beginning of the autumn season in India
