What is Dandiya Raas?

Dandiya Raas is the traditional folk dance performed during the Navaratri (nine nights) period in the state of Gujarat in India. The special characteristic of the dance is the colorful costume worn by the dancers and the colorful sticks carried by them as well the massive number of dancers in any single programme. The sticks, called "Dandiya",  are used as prop and are beautifully decorated. It is for this reason the dance is also called the 'Stick Dance'. These sticks are usually made of bamboo and painted in different colors to make them look attractive.

In Dandiya Raas men and women dance in two circles, with Dandiya in their hands. The dancers strike the Dandiya with their partners' to the rhythm of the music played in the background. This dance is very energetic and a fast paced activity. Although one can be very creative with his/her dance steps, even those with no prior experience of the dance, but ready to take the plunge, can thoroughly enjoy it.

Here are few photos and videos of our Dandiya event in 2009.
