Live music for a garba and dandiya night in Kandivali, Mumbai
Each housing complex lays out a ground or a podium, and the neighbours dress up and play for nine nights. The scale is smaller than a commercial ground but the atmosphere is warm and close-knit, and a good singer is remembered all year.
Dharmik’s garba sets suit a society ground, with a compact band and a close sound setup. The nine nights need planning for sound limits, neighbours and the committee’s schedule. Kandivali is within Mumbai, so there is no travel; the plan centres on the ground and the rules.

Society Navratri in Kandivali
Kandivali’s Navratri is run by its societies. Each housing complex lays out a ground or a podium, the neighbours dress up and for nine nights the compound becomes a circle of garba and dandiya. The scale is smaller than a commercial ground, but the atmosphere is warm and close-knit, and a good singer is remembered all year. Thakur Village and Mahavir Nagar on the west side and the lanes of the east each have a character of their own.
The compact band for a compound
A society compound is a tight space with towers on every side, so the sound has to be controlled. A compact band, a lead voice with a keyboard and a dholak or percussion, suits it, and the sound is set to fill the circle without ringing off the walls. The committee and the neighbours agree the finishing hour, and the band keeps to it.
The nine nights need planning for the committee’s schedule, the rest days and the final night, when the compound is fullest.
Songs for a close circle
A close circle likes the traditional songs and the neighbourhood’s favourites. The set opens with the aarti and a traditional garba, moves through folk songs and film numbers and finishes with a fast round. Requests from the committee are added, and the final night can include a short dedication to the residents.
A garba set for a Kandivali society compound
A society compound is a close circle, so the set begins with the songs that the committee’s mothers know: slow traditional garba and the songs to the goddess. Once the compound fills, the set moves to Chogada Tara and Nagada Sang Dhol, and the closing round is the fastest of the evening.
A short break is placed in the middle of the night for the older players to rest, and the neighbours’ patience is kept by the finish.
