[{"data":" Dandiya Raas is the most popular dance of not only Gujarat but also all the states throughout India. It is a special feature of the Navratri festival. Dandiya is a dance form usually performed in a group,by both men and women. The special feature of the Dandiya dance is the colourful attire worn by the dancers and the colourful sticks carried by them. The wooden sticks are used as prop and are beautifully decorated. It is for the reason this dance is also called the STICK DANCE.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570525972324},{"id":1570526214924,"type":"img","data":"5d9c540692a8e"},{"data":" <\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570526197194},{"data":" It is a very simple dance and is performed by a group who move in circles to measure steps,marking time by sticks called Dandiya. Another identifiable feature of Dandiya is its dress code. The dress code for women and men are different. For women it is three piece ghaghra, colourful embroided cholis,bandhani dupattas dazzling with mirror work and heavy jewellery. Men in Dandiya dress up in matching colourful traditional dhotis and aangrakha or kurtas with loads of mirrors on the dress.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570526233620},{"id":1570526522562,"type":"img","data":"5d9c553a369d5"},{"data":" It is the staging of the fight between maa Durga and Mahishasura through vigorous dance and steps. The sticks of the dance represent the Swords used by the two during their duel. The musical background instruments like dhol and percussions are symbolic of the metallic clangs of battlefields. The dance is very energetic and fast paced activity, which leaves no scope for lethargy. The site of hundreds of people swaying on the beats of folk music is awe-inspiring. <\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570526493616},{"id":1570526834428,"type":"img","data":"5d9c567218166"},{"data":" The difference between Garba and Dandiya is that while Garba is played in the beginning and before the aarti,Dandiya comes after the aarti as part of enjoyment and the end. The steps to Garba are soothing and so are the songs while the Dandiya songs have a lot more beats and energy. Both go hand in hand and the Navratri puja is considered incomplete without one of the two. Both are ode's to maa Durga one in her tender,gentle,loving form as the mother of the universe and the other as a fierce warrior,the destructor of all evil. Garba signifies the birth of life where as Dandiya signifies the destruction of evil.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570526825465},{"id":1570527198662,"type":"img","data":"5d9c57de4dec0"}]
