Garba is celebration of life: PM Modi after UNESCO recognition

New Delhi: Garba is a celebration of life, culture, and devotion and it is gladdening to note that its global popularity is on the rise, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday.

The traditional dance form of Gujarat was inscribed on the ‘Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’ in December.

“Garba is a celebration of life, culture, and devotion. It also brings people together. It is gladdening to note that Garba’s global popularity is on the rise!” PM Modi posted on X.

“Some time ago, Garba found a place in the @UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. I am glad that the Certificate of Inscription was presented a few days back in Paris. At the same time, a memorable Garba Night was also held in Paris, which was attended by the Indian community in large numbers,” PM Modi wrote.
