Dandiya Raas which takes place not only in Gujarat but also in the rest of India and also among the Guajarati communities living abroad. This dance form is ancient and depicts the fight between Durga Maa and Mahishasur and is performed in pairs primarily during the auspicious time of Navratri. People dress up in their best traditional Gujarati attire and cook some of the most delicious Gujarati traditional meals whilst offering heartfelt gratitude to the goddess and protector of the world. This is a fun way of dancing by swaying with a pair of Dandiya sticks in your hand and moving according to the beat of the music.
