Nine nights, nine colours and at least one dandiya night where someone loses a stick. These are the things that make garba season easier, prettier or more fun, from oxidised jewellery that survives sweat to golu dolls that survive toddlers.

  1. Ghungroo Garba Jewellery Set

    Lace Dandiya Two-Pair Pack

    Palm-Sized Brass Durga

    A 4.6-inch solid brass Durga on her lion, detailed enough to be the centrepiece of a home Navratri altar and small enough to gift in a box.
