40, 000 People Dancing in India Garba Festival in Gujarat

Thanks to the Gujurat Tourism Board, we got vip access to the United Way of Baroda Garba Festival. We arrived a little early and thrre were just a few people in the center dancing area. As time went on, more and more people showed up and soon they started dancing. Before we knew it there were 40, 000+ people all moving in unison to the music. Everyone was dressed in their best Garba outfits which is actually a requirement to participate. Also we found out the cost for men to participate is five times as much as women. That didn t stop 20, 000+ men from dancing all night. What a sight, like nothing I ve ever need before. Definitely the highlight of our time in Gujurat.
