Mawaali - 2021 Garba Online

<p>The word&nbsp;<em>garba</em>&nbsp;comes from the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit">Sanskrit</a>&nbsp;word for womb and so implies gestation or pregnancy &mdash; life. Traditionally, the dance is performed around a clay lantern with a light inside, called a&nbsp;<em>Garbha Deep</em>&nbsp;("womb lamp"). This lantern represents life, and the fetus in the womb in particular. The dancers thus honor&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durga">Durga</a>, the feminine form of divinity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
