Live music for a garba and dandiya night in Thane
The mix of Gujarati, Marathi and North Indian families gives the circle a lively, mixed energy.
Dharmik’s garba sets are built to carry that crowd: an aarti to open, slow rounds while the ground fills, faster numbers in the middle and a high-energy dandiya finale. Film garba keeps the younger dancers in the circle through the late hours.

Navratri in Thane: Gujarati and Marathi traditions side by side
Thane’s Navratri has two threads. The Gujarati and Marwari communities play garba and dandiya in the society grounds and halls of Thane West and the new townships on Ghodbunder Road, while Marathi families mark the festival with the ghatasthapana, the nine days of fasting and, in many neighbourhoods, the traditional bhondla songs. The two blend easily, and a Thane ground often draws players from both.
The city’s lakes and temples give the festival a local setting, and the larger grounds attract crowds from the neighbouring suburbs. Weekends and the last nights are the busiest, and a good singer is booked months before.
Running a ground in a crowded city
Thane grounds are close to residential buildings, so sound is a daily negotiation. The police and the corporation set the permitted hours, and neighbours complain if they are exceeded. The singer, the sound crew and the organiser agree the level and the finish in advance, and the set builds to the permitted hour without running past it.
Traffic on Ghodbunder Road and near the stations is heavy at garba hours, so the band arrives early and loads in before the crowd.
A set for mixed Thane crowds
A Thane set opens with the aarti and a traditional garba, moves through popular garba and dandiya numbers and finishes with a fast round. Hindi film dandiya songs suit the younger players, and Marathi devotional songs suit the families. The list is agreed with the organiser.
A garba set for Thane’s mixed crowds
A Thane ground draws Gujarati and Marathi players, so the set respects both. It opens with the aarti and a slow garba, adds a Marathi devotional song for the families who keep that tradition and builds through the dandiya numbers to a fast raas. A short break is placed before the last round.
The finishing hour is set by the corporation and the society, and the last song lands before it.
