Dandiya

Region/Area: Rajasthan/ Gujarat

Occasion: Performed during Navratri festival

Highlight: Performers wield sticks and dance skillfully

Dandiya is a popular folk dance of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Dressed in colorful costumes, the performers wield sticks and dance skillfully by striking the sticks held by their fellow dancers. Dandiya dance is accompanied by a musical instrument called 'Meddale'. This percussion is played by the drummer who is always placed at the center. Other percussion instruments such as ‘Dholak’ and ‘Tabla’ are also used.
Garba

Region/Area: Gujarat

Occasion: Performed during Navratri festival

Highlight: Women perform with earthen pots which in turn hold lighted lamps

Garba is the leading dance of women in Gujarat. The dance is associated with the fertility cult. It is performed on nine consecutive nights of Navaratri, an autumn festival. Women folk come out in the open, carrying perforated earthen pots on their head, which in turn hold lighted lamps. They sing, clap and perform a simple dance by forming a circle in order to praise Goddess Amba. When men too, join in by singing, clapping and dancing, the dance is then called ‘Garbi’.

Tippani Dance

Region/Area: Saurashtra

Occasion: Festivals and weddings

Highlight: Women hit the floor with wooden rod which sometimes has an iron tip

Tippani is one of the most famous dances of Saurashtra. Performed by women on occasions like festivals and weddings, the dance involves performers hitting the floor with wooden rod which sometimes has an iron tip. The performance is well supported by instruments such as ‘Manjira’, ‘Tabla’, ‘Zanz’, ‘Dhol’ and ‘Shehnai’.
food
This region probably has the most diverse styles of food in India. Rajasthani food is spicy and largely vegetarian but includes many delicious meat dishes like Laal Maas (red meat curry) while Gujarat’s cuisine is known for its slight sweet touch (at least a pinch of sugar is added to most dishes!) and is traditionally entirely vegetarian.

Thaali (a large plate) is the Gujarati style of eating, and a meal can consist of as many as 10 different vegetable dishes, rice, chapati (Indian bread) and sweets! The Gujaratis love a snack and cook a huge variety of them. These are collectively known as Farsan.

In Maharashtra, coastal areas are famous for Malvani cuisine (fresh coconut-based hot and sour curries with fish and seafood) while the interiors have the more frugal, Vidharba cuisine which uses a lot of dry coconuts. Goan food is rich, piquant and strongly flavored by coconut, red chilies, and vinegar.

festival
Ganesh Chathurthi is the biggest festival celebrated in Maharashtra. People buy idols of Ganesha and install in their houses and worship for one to ten days, after which the idols are taken ceremoniously through the streets of the town and immersed in well, river or sea. Elephanta Festival is held during the month of February at the Elephanta Island across Mumbai Harbor, near the popular Elephanta Caves. Highlighted by feast of music and dance under dark sky, the entire island transforms into a large auditorium. Over the past years it has become one of the major attraction for tourists.The Parsi New Year of Pateti is celebrated within the Parsi community of Mumbai, Maharashtra with much gaiety and fun.The coastal Maharashtra celebrates the Narali Purnima, worshipping the Sea God.
