The video shows a spirited group of people — from teens to adults — dancing in perfect sync despite the flooded streets.With the lively beats of Garba music echoing in the background, they executed classic steps, moving in circles and turning the waterlogged roads into a spontaneous dance floor.
Adding to the festive mood, another group of people in the video can be seen preparing for the Dahi-Handi celebrations, a traditional part of Janmashtami festivities.
The video has caught the attention of many, including industrialist Anand Mahindra, who shared it on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “Gujarat aur Garba, Ek gazab ka rishta…Unstoppable.” The post quickly gained traction, with many praising the people of Gujarat for their spirit and love for their traditions.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings of a new weather system—a well-marked low-pressure area from the Bay of Bengal—that is expected to impact Gujarat starting September 1. This system could bring heavy to very heavy rains to various parts of the state.
According to the IMD, Navsari and Valsad may experience heavy rainfall on Sunday, while Vadodara and Chhota Udepur could see intense downpours on Monday. By Tuesday, the storm system is likely to bring heavy rain to Anand, Panchmahal, Dahod, Bharuch, Bhavnagar, and Narmada, with the likelihood of very heavy rain continuing in Narmada and Bharuch on Wednesday.
Additionally, the deep depression hovering over Gujarat has intensified into a cyclonic storm named ‘Asna,’ which is currently positioned near the Kutch coast. Moving west-northwestward at a speed of 6 km/h, the storm adds another layer of concern for the already waterlogged regions.
