DURGA GARBAVALI (JALA NI JAR) NAVRATRI

Jamnagar is a city located on the western coast of India in the state of Gujarat in the Saurashtra region. Navratri is a festival which is celebrated with great enthusiasm in and around the Gujarat. One of the oldest garba in the Jamnagar city is the Jalani Jar sheri garba . The ancient Garba in Jamnagar is being held for the last 331 years and this year the Garba will be  organized for the 332nd year as well 'Aso Sud Satam' on 7th Day of Navaratri . The Navaratri of Jalani Jar during the days of the Monarchy was played only by men of  age of above  25 years .

 

In this Navratri, Gods marriage is of great importance.  For three and a half hours without a single moment of break the players dance with the song of 'Ishwar Vivah Duhaverses. Each stanza of Ishwar Vivah was sung four times so that the listeners can understand the meaning easily . In this Navratri even today, no electronic musical instruments are used and only singing is done orally.
