Royal Room at Hotel Surya Palace was the venue to be on 30th September 2011. The royal ambience of the room was complemented by the glitter of traditionally dressed JSHMites. The Garba Songs & the Garba Ras ( Dance Form) filled the venue with serene beauty.

Navratri (nine nights) is one of the greatest of Hindu festivals.It takes place at the beginning of October around harvest time and, as the name implies, this festival is celebrated for nine days. During this event the traditional dance form of “Garba” is played around a central lit lamp to the picture/statue of Goddess Amba. During Navratri, Vadodra - the cultural capital of Gujarat is the best place to perform or witness Garba.

Jindal School of Hotel Management, celebrated this auspicious occasion on the 30th September, 2011. All the students and faculty were dressed in colourful Gujarati outfits to celebrate the festival. Women were dressed charmingly in Chaniya Cholis and men were dressed traditionally in kurtas and pyjamas. The rhythmic dancing was too much to resist even for reluctant dancers & soon the entire JSHM family was performing the Garba Ras.

The event started off with a traditional aarti followed by Garba. The entire evening was full of energy as we danced to the Gujarati tunes. The event turned out to be a huge success as everybody gladly participated in the festivity.

The merriment ended with presenting of awards, Ms. Charvi Patel won the Best Dress Award, Ms. Margi Merchant and Mr. Pratik Mali won the Best Pair and; Ms. Rajvi Kiri and Mr. Nikhil Makwana won the Best Dance. On the whole the evening was enjoyable and a great display of celebrations followed at JSHM.

    3. Adding a feather to our colourful social fabric, all invitees had a wonderful opportunity to showcase their prowess at dressing up in traditional regional attire and groove to the rhythm of Garba. It was truly an audio-visual treat!!

    Kudos to JSHMites!!
