A Night Not To Be Missed

Navatri 2012 – Garba Night Sydney – Oct 2012

On Saturday, 20th October 2012, Michael Wenden Aquatic Leisure Centre, Miller (Near Liverpool) is set to be the centre-stage of Garba festivities this year as Navratri Cultural Group prepares for yet another landmark year of Dandia Raas and Garba celebration. This year’s event is tipped to be bigger and better than ever before. With preparations well under way, the committee of volunteer organisers is looking forward to record numbers.

For the Gujarati Indians, Navratri is probably the most important festival on the calendar. It marks the victory of Good over Evil as Mataji killed the demons and established peace. Gujarati Indians traditionally celebrate this event by dancing and singing for nine nights.

However, modern Gujarati Raas-Garba has gained national and international popularity over the years and attracts music and dance lovers from all backgrounds. The Navratri Cultural Group is proud to have kept the tradition alive in Sydney for more than 25 years and their celebrations feature a unique blend of modern and traditional.

This year, starting at 6:30 pm, a talented team of some of Sydney’s most prominent Indian singers and musicians will provide live music for everyone present to participate in action-packed Dandia Raas and Garba for over four hours. It will be a rare opportunity to see so many accomplished Indian singers and musicians on stage together.

Yummy Indian food will be on sale and all proceeds from the sale of food will be donated to Shri Shiva Mandir of Minto. All interested are welcome to attend for an entry of mere $7 to be paid at the door. If you would like any further information, please call Kanti Gokani on (02) 9792 1422 (BH) or Dinesh Shah on (02) 9543 8686 (AH) or send an email to navratri.sydney@gmail.com.
