The weekend has been super fun with a visit to my hometown and a celebration of Navratri, with 230 friends!! Where we celebrated with dancing and delicious food on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Many thanks to the Gujrati Cultural Club, with great efforts from volunteers.
Garba and dandiya are in focus, these are very popular folk dances from the state of Gujarat. This is part of the Navratri festival. It was a great weekend with lots of dancing and fun. Always nice to be back in my hometown 
You can read more about the holidays by clicking on the names. These nine days are always so wonderful, especially when the family gets together. We also like to decorate ourselves! Which is a big part of the celebration. Many people often wonder why we have dots on our foreheads, you can read the answer HERE .
I have also written a post about the sari , the national costume, if that is of interest.

Here is a picture of my daughter in traditional Gujrat attire and I am wearing the sari as they do in Gujrat. My husband is wearing the Kurta pajama which is worn by men in India.
Thank you for clicking through and reading. Have a nice day!
