Navratri Special | Music video of Garba penned by PM Modi released ahead of Navratri festive, watch visuals
Navratri 2023 Special | Sharad Navratri is one of the highly anticipated festival in India, celebrated with immense zeal and devotion.
This nine-day festival is observed in regions such as Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. It coincides with Durga Puja in parts of Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa, each having its unique rituals.
Navratri holds great significance for the devotees of Maa Durga. Navratri is also a commemoration of the victory of good over evil, as goddess Durga - created by combining the powers of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva - conquered the demon king Mahishasura.
Making the special occasion of Goddess Durga more special and secular, a music video based on a Garba song penned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was released today.
Titled 'Garbo,' the song voiced by singer Dhvani Bhanushali and composed by Tanishk Bagchi was released under the banner of Jjust Music, a music label founded by actor-producer Jackky Bhagnani.
PM Modi also took to his X handle (former Twitter) and wrote, Thank you @dhvanivinod, Tanishk Bagchi and the team of @Jjust_Music for this lovely rendition of a Garba I had penned years ago! It does bring back many memories. I have not written for many years now but I did manage to write a new Garba over the last few days, which I will share during Navratri. #SoulfulGarba”

The PM also shared that he has managed to write a new Garba over the last few days, which he will share during this Navratri, that begins tomorrow.
Bhanushali in her tweet said composer Tanishk Bagchi and she loved the Garba penned by the prime minister and they "wanted to make a song with a fresh rhythm, composition and flavour."
They also thanked the music label for helping them "bring this song and video to life."
The 'Garbo' song garnered over 240,000 views in just 3 hours after it was posted on YouTube channel of the music label.
Notably, Navratri is one of the most popular and widely celebrated Hindu festivals in many parts of India. Gujarat, however, is the only state that erupts into a nine-night dance festival, perhaps the longest in the world. For nine consecutive nights, people across villages and cities of the state gather in open spaces to celebrate.
