Spiderman playing garba with Mahatma Gandhi can be seen here. Every year at a garba venue at Karelibaug in Vadodara, a fancy dress competition is organised on the eight day of Navratri, where all the performers come dressed up in different fancy dresses. Many Barodians enjoy garba in the getup of famous characters and personalities. Garba revellers can be seen dressed as Shivaji, Saibaba, Bharatmata, Narendra Modi, also as characters of movie 'Singh is King'. Nirad Pandya, an organizer, said: “Every year people at our garba wait for the eighth day of Navratri to participate in fancy dress competition as well as dance in unique attire. Ours is the only garba in the city which organises the fancy dress competition and it gets great response from garba enthusisasts.”This year, garba revellers at Karelibaug's garba danced in getup of cricketers, prince and princess while one couple wearing school uniform became centre of attraction. Garba revellers enjoyed the garba with attractive get up and got appreciation from viewers as well as other performers.The craze of participating with fancy dress was confined not only to youngsters but middle-age couples were also there who enjoyed the garba in getup of king-queen and students. Devang and Kumud Trivedi, a garba-loving couple, said: “We love to dance in Navratri with funky getup. Earlier, we used to feel shy in performing garba with fancy get up but after getting good response from viewers now we try different get ups every year. This year we have danced dressed in school uniforms. Our children also danced with us and we enjoyed the fest to the fullest.”
