Garba is a famous folk dance of Gujarat.
Recently, UNESCO has included this folk dance in its cultural heritage list.
This recognition was given under the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Garba has been described by UNESCO as a 'ritualistic and devotional dance' dedicated to the worship of 'Shakti'.
Garba is the 15th cultural heritage of India to receive cultural heritage status from UNESCO.
Traditionally, Garba is an earthen pot with a lamp inside, which is called 'Garbi' in Gujarat.
The Garba dance is performed around these earthen pots, called 'Garbha Deep'.
This game means that men and women are fighting like goddess Durga and demon-king Mahishasura.
Garba costume consists of 3 parts.
Women wear choli or blouse, chaniya or long skirt and bright dupatta and men wear turban with kadu.
There is a way of doing this, in which women and men dance in groups of two or four to keep in tune with the rhythm.
Kutiyattam, Sanskrit theater from Kerala, was first included in this list in the year 2008.
