Here are the young folk (Tanya and her boy-friend, not boyfriend exactly because you don’t get to have a Boyfriend, but you can have plenty of boy-friends and this sure looked like Tanya’s number one boy-friend to me) getting ready for a night out to celebrate the goddess festival of Navaratri. Navaratri actually lasts nine nights and every night those with the strenth to go on, go and dance all night long. Except this year. This year because of the previous week’s terrorist attack the powers-that-be tried to shut down the festivities by 10pm. What a laugh. Usually you start getting dressed around then!
The costumes are based on the traditional Gujarati clothes and you must be properly dressed to dance at the best Garba parties. Bare feet is part of the costume.
