It's a folk song from Gujarat that is often played during Navratri while playing Garba and Dandiya.

Here's a vid of someone singing it and people dancing to it. Very catchy and it's easy to sing along to as well.

oh dear! I entered the wrong topic...anyways, i have not learned dancing at all..
I used to listen to my music on the ipod and when a dance number came, I used go to my room and dance in front of the mirror and then made a decision that I wont dance ever again but I still dance except not in the front of the mirror😆
Simi, yaar you surprised me with your singing and now dancing😲...now all of a sudden I feel good for nothing

🤣What did you do for the rest of the night? Luckily the place I go to has a section where you can buy dandiya sticks that are quite cheap.

Were they one of the really skinny dandiyas like these ones?

YAY another sanedo fan!!😃

Recently a couple of people in my family have got married so I've been to a couple of sanji na geet functions lately and I love every minute of it! :)

I always look forward to Navratri and Dandia because it is soo much fun..I completely lose myself while playing Dandia and all of a sudden the blisters on my feet don't matter.😛

Yeah they have lot of navratri stuff here in New York in different school gyms etc.....but you know I still remember when I was about 8 years old and we had gone to India specifically for Navratri, and the building in Mumbai where we live is part of a society and every navratri they cover the open grounds with sand and put maata ji's murti in middle, build a mandap and every night during navratri starting at 8 PM many people from the society do garba to live music till 10 and dandia till 11 and then do aarti.......I still remember that as the best navratri thingy that I've been to....and it wasn't just our society that did this, many societies at that time did that....but now I think sadly with all the new rules about noise control and stuff it doesn't happen as often in mumbai anymore.......
