This week has seen the celebration of Sharad Navrati. It is a nine-day celebration with, I believe, dancing taking place every night. It's a huge hit in Gujarat. I believe it's a celebration of the feminine side of creational divinity, but as my knowledge of Hindu traditions mostly rests upon a foundation of Wikipedia browsing, I just might be incorrect. Indian readers must here feel free to correct or complement this interpretation in the commentaries. Anyway, this Friday saw the IIMA campus invaded by people from all around Ahmedabad campuses to perform garba, a ritual dance. Exchange students happily contributed, often wearing Indian traditional outfits, as can be seen in the picture with Stéphane (France), Hadrien (Belgium) and an unidentified bloke. For some reason, the video previously uploaded video didn't work very well, so it has been deleted.
