NRI siblings offer ‘US dollar-garland’ to Lord Ganesh in Gujarat village
Reported by The Indian Express.
Dabhali observes Navratri (Garba) on Sunday, 11 October 2026, along with the rest of Gujarat.
The principal temple recorded for Galteshwar mandal is Bhimnath Mahadev, Shiv Temple. No temple of this dedication is on record within Dabhali itself.
Nine nights of Garba and Dandiya Raas circling a perforated earthen lamp, the garbo, or an image of Amba — dancers moving anticlockwise, singing and clapping together. Garba of Gujarat was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in December 2023, the fifteenth element from India to join it.
