Young Reporter My First Dandiya Night Avni Arora Tiffin Girls' School
On the 22nd of October, I landed in India and on the very same day I got whisked into the endless festivities that take place in this time of year. There is a period on the Hindu calendar called Navratri celebrated in Ashwin Maas (a hindu month). It is a nine day festival that is celebrated to honour the goddess Durga and her victory over evil. And everyday in the evening it is a tradition to gather with your local community and collectively take part in a traditional dance called Dandiya or Garba.
