Surbhi Garba – Chattarpur Farms
Our Motto & A Message to the Youth
Our Motto: Seva hi Dharam
For several years now, Surbhi Garba at Chattarpur Farms has brought together thousands of friends, families, devotees and well-wishers under one roof for nine nights of rhythm, colour, and devotion. But behind every garba beat and every swirl of a ghagra lies a purpose greater than celebration itself: every step taken on our dance floor becomes a step toward someone else’s better tomorrow.
Over the years, proceeds from Surbhi Garba have supported causes close to the heart of our community — contributing to the National Cancer Institute, the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, Go-Seva (cow welfare), and numerous other charitable and religious institutions working quietly to ease suffering and uplift the underserved. What began as a Navratri gathering has grown into a movement — proof that joy and generosity are not opposites, but partners.
Why We Do This
Navratri is not merely a festival on the calendar. It is nine nights dedicated to Maa Durga, a celebration of Shakti — the divine feminine energy that sustains, protects, and renews the world. When we dance the Garba, we are not just performing a folk art; we are participating in a tradition that has connected generations of Indians to their roots, their faith, and to each other.
Our aim has always been threefold:
- Spiritual & Cultural Rootedness — To give the youth of today a genuine, joyful connection to Sanatan Dharma and our festivals, not as obligation, but as celebration.
- Social Awareness — To remind every attendee that true festivity includes those who cannot join us — the patient fighting cancer, the family in crisis, the cow shelters caring for abandoned gau mata, and countless others who depend on collective compassion.
- Wearing our Cultural Pride — To create a space where wearing a chaniya choli, a kediyu, or a dhoti is not old-fashioned but a proud, confident assertion of who we are as Indians.
A Message to the Youth
To every young dancer who steps onto our floor this Navratri —
You are not just here for garba. You are here to carry forward something far older and far greater than yourself. Every time you tie your dupatta, every time you spin in your traditional attire instead of choosing something borrowed from another culture, you are making a quiet but powerful statement: that our heritage is not something to leave behind as we modernise, but something to wear with pride as we move forward.
In a world that often pulls young people toward the fleeting and the foreign, choosing to dress in your own culture’s colours, dance to your own culture’s beats, and give back through your own culture’s values of daan (charity) and seva (selfless service) is itself an act of quiet confidence. It says: I know who I am, and I am proud of it.
We encourage every young participant to see Garba not just as a party, but as:
- A living classroom — where you learn discipline, rhythm, and respect for tradition
- A community bond — where strangers become friends over shared steps and shared values
- An act of giving — where your ticket, your presence, and your enthusiasm quietly become someone else’s hope, someone else’s treatment, someone else’s relief
Our Promise, Your Participation
Every rupee raised, every garba played, and every smile shared at Surbhi Garba goes toward building a society that is more compassionate, more rooted, and more proud of its own identity. We invite the youth of our city — and every family that joins us — to dance not just for themselves, but for the causes and communities that quietly benefit from every Navratri we celebrate together.
Come in your traditional best. Dance with your whole heart. Leave knowing that your joy became someone else’s blessing.
Jai Mata Di
