    About Dandiya Sticks

    Dandiya Raas in Navratri

    Dandiya Raas or simply Dandiya is one of the several forms of Raas and is one of the most popular forms of traditional folk dances performed during the festive season of Navratri. It is done in the honor of the Mother Divine, Goddess Durga. Along with Garba, Dandiya is the featured dance during Navratri nights. The revelry is best seen in Gujarat and many parts of Mumbai.

    Dandiya is performed after the aarti of Goddess Durga and sets the mood for the festivity. (Garba is performed before the aarti). It is performed by groups of men and women in colorful attire (chaniya choli for women and kedia for men). What sets Dandiya apart from other dance forms of India is the massive number of dancers who participate in the event, the orchestral music, bright-colored flashy dresses, the designer dandiya sticks and the scope for innovation and creativity.

    The History and Origin of Dandiya

    Dandiya Raas originated as Garba dance, performed in the honor of Goddess Durga. This dance is the dramatization of a mock-fight between the demon-king Mahishasura and Goddess Durga. The dandiya sticks represents the sword of Durga and hence the dance is called "the Sword Dance". The dance routine involves the spirited whirling by dancers with complicated movement of arms and feet. It is a more complex form of dance than Garba.

    Dandiya Customs and Sticks
