Digital Garba Viral Video: Navratri brings with it the joy of bright lights, traditional music and the beat of garba. In India, the festival turns every corner into a celebration. But for Indians living abroad, this energy often feels far away, leaving them missing the real charm of the festivities. Mumbai’s digital creator and actor Viraj Ghelani found a quirky way to bridge this gap for his NRI friends. Instead of letting them feel left out, he came up with an idea that was both funny and emotional at the same time.
This year, Viraj printed out photos of two of his friends who live abroad and danced garba with them during the celebrations. While he twirled around in person, the printed faces of his friends became his 'digital garba partners,' making them part of the festival despite the distance.

He later posted the video on Instagram with a caption: “Tag someone you’d want to organise a digital Garba for, because they’re missing the real fun.”
The clip struck a chord instantly. Many viewers who have been away from home during festivals related deeply to the gesture, while others couldn’t stop laughing at the creativity. Within no time, the video went viral, proving that sometimes even the simplest ideas can carry the biggest emotions.
"Digital garba is going full on viral," a user wrote. "Ab abroad bhisabkuchmiljaatahaihume. Garba se lekekhaanetak," a second user wrote. "Your garba is soooo good," wrote a third user. "First it was digital kumbsnaan, now digital garba too," added a fourth user. "You are working very hard. May God keep you happy," added another user.
