2022 Men’s Garba Outfits & Suitable Watch to Wear This Navratri

Navratri is celebrated by communities gathering for dances and night entertainment festivals. In India and now all over the world, Navratri is celebrated in different ways, in colourful and elaborate ways. One of the dances that can be seen during the nine days is the Garba, originating from the Indian region of Gujarat. Traditionally, it involves dancing in a large circle around a central lamp or images/statues of goddesses. The circle represents the Hindu concept of time and the lamp represents light. Another popular dance is the Dandiya Raas, which involves dancing with sticks. It symbolises the battle between a Hindu goddess and a demon king.

During the nine days, guests and families are welcomed with varied and delicious banquets. Men and women dress elaborately every day for the puja or night rituals and dances. Another part of the puja is the decoration of puja thalis or aartis in honour of the mother goddess Amba.

The tenth day of the festival is called Dussehra and marks the victory of the good against evil and also the motherhood of God. Durga Puja is particularly important: after worshipping her for nine days, her image is carried in a procession through the streets and there is much celebration and dancing to celebrate Durga's farewell to her mother after her nine-day visit. In the northern regions of India, Hindus also celebrate Rama's victory over Ravana during this period, similar to Diwali. The ten days represent the ten heads of Ravana and each day is used by Hindus to rid themselves of bad qualities, such such as lust and jealousy.

Clothing can be understood as a means of showing or presenting a certain identity. It is the practice of wearing and carrying that performatively recreates that identity. Clothing can be used to form groups that involve the wearing of a certain type of clothing and the exclusion of those who do not wear it.

At the raas-garba, it is advisable to wear clothes that you feel comfortable in moving around. Men's trousers and shirts are fine. Raas and garba are usually performed barefoot. So do without socks and stockings and wear shoes that you can happily take off and leave in a corner. The traditional wear of men includes flowing:

Garba clothing is vibrant, colourful and flowy. It allows freedom of movement, especially for arms and legs, and rotates with the dancers as they clap and spin. Men traditionally wear a kediyu and a kafni pyjama. The kediyu is tight-fitting at the chest and flares out at the waist and hips to above the knees. The kafni pyjama is a pair of trousers with several pleats at the waist that bulge outwards when the wearer rolls them up. Today it is common for men to wear kurtas (long shirts that reach below the knees) with tighter trousers. Both chaniya cholis and kediyu pyjamas are elaborately designed. Traditional embellishments include mirrors, intricate embroidery and shells. But don't worry if you don't have these things - just put on loose-fitting, comfortable clothes and you'll fit in just fine at Garba in the Park.
