Free Garba Workshop

To welcome Navratri, Vishwanath (Apurv) Dalvi initiated a free, beginner-friendly Garba workshop open to everyone — students, men and women. Every evening for a week, participants learned traditional Garba steps and Dandiya beats together.

The response was overwhelming. The workshop ended with a concluding ceremony at Kurtarkar Nagari, and participants have already asked for it to return, bigger, next Navratri.
