'Rent A Garba Partner' Post Goes Viral, Offers Three Packages: 'This Navratri, Don’t Dance Alone’

An Instagram post offers three unusual Garba partner packages for Navratri, priced from ₹1,000 to ₹2,000, with promises of dance lessons, selfies, reels and a safe ride home

Finding a Garba partner can be tricky, especially for those who want to join the celebrations but do not have someone to dance with. One Instagram post has come up with a rather unusual solution, offering people the option to “rent" a Garba partner for Navratri. The post lists three packages at different prices, with each one offering different experiences, from spending a few hours dancing to getting help with Garba moves, taking pictures and even getting a safe ride home.

Navratri is a nine-day festival celebrated across India and is closely linked with Goddess Durga and the worship of Shakti. Sharad Navratri is observed around September and October, with devotees celebrating the festival through prayers, music and dance. This year it will be celebrated from October 11 to October 20.
