Why is Dandiya Played In Navratri?

Dandiya is a type of dance that is extremely popular during Navratri. Unlike everything in Navratri associated with Durga, Dandiya is actually associated with Krishna.

It is Dandiya Raas, one of the Rass Lila’s Krishna was so famed for. While in Gujarat Dandiya is played with 2 sticks and men and women in concentric circles, in Rajasthan there’s another type of dance called Dang lila which is very similar to Dandiya but played with only 1 stick. They are both forms of Krishna’s Raas Lila and derived from the original sanskrit word Rasa meaning the mental state or emotion evoked through an art form.

Dandiya is actually known as “The Sword Dance”. It is the staging of the fight between Maa Durga and Mahishasura through vigorous dance and steps. The dandiya sticks are symbols of the swords used by the two during their duel. The musical background instruments like Dhol and Percussions are symbolic of the metallic clangs on battlefields. The movements of Dandiya are a lot more complex and intricate than those of Garba. While Garba signifies the birth of life, Dandiya signifies the destruction of evil. Both go hand in hand and the Navratri Puja is considered incomplete without one of the two.

While Garba is played in the beginning and before the aarti, Dandiya comes after the aarti as part of enjoyment and the end. The steps to garba are soothing and so are the songs while the Dandiya songs have a lot more beats and energy. Both are odes to Ma Durga, one in her tender, gentle loving form as the mother of the universe and the other as a fierce warrior, the destructor of all evil.
