While Navratri, the festival of Adishakti, is being celebrated with signature faith and fervour across the country, Divyang Navratri Mahotsav has organised Garba Fest to motivate disabled people in Ahmedabad. The event is a tradition that has been carried forward for six years now.
More than 700 disabled people, elders and youth performed Garba at this event while paying obeisance to Aadyashakti Amba.
Vipulbhai, the organiser of Divyang Garba Mahotsav told “I was playing Garba along with my friends at the ground about a decade ago when I spotted a disabled person at the venue. I was moved seeing him and decided that day itself that I would organise a Garba for disabled people. It’s been six years and counting. About, 700 differently-abled people in and around Gujarat gathered here to play Garba today.”
