We all know Navratri, especially in Gujarat, is incomplete without doing the Garba. But since the festive season this year kickstarted on a very intimate note, people have been celebrating at home amid the pandemic. An undated video that has been shared extensively on social media proves that even the pandemic cannot dampen our spirits.
The video shows a granny and her grandson doing the traditional Gujarati dance.
But what amazed people is the enthusiasm of the granny who grooved to the beats of a traditional song while sitting on a chair. The granny probably cannot move much due to old-age, but that didn’t stop her from celebrating the festival her way. Take a look:
This Garba is so touching….☺🙏👍@ShefVaidya @dhaval241086 @vijai63 @indiantweeter @RatanSharda55 @MODIfiedVikas @VikasSaraswat @AsitKumarrModi @actormanojjoshi pic.twitter.com/PFXaf5XQeq

It was indeed heartwarming to see the passion of the grandmother for Garba. People online were also touched by the boy’s love for the elderly woman.

How sweet.. ❤️ I too had good time with my grand parents.. Only Sweet memories left now.. Lost them all..
Orphanages and old age homes should work together, so that they get good company for each other..

Earlier, a 102-year-old grandmother was spotted skydiving from 14,000 feet. Soon after, an 89-year-old Kerala grandmom was seen learning to use a laptop to read the news. Aren’t grandmothers the cutest?
