More than 3,000 people attended the Indo-American Cultural Foundation of Central Jersey – IACFNJ Grand Navratri Garba celebration which was held on October 15 and 16, 2021, at South Brunswick High School, New Jersey. IACFNJ held this year’s Garba in a state-of-the-art gymnasium in a highly secured environment.
The famous group of Mahesh Mehta along with world famous Bollywood Indi-pop Singer duo Preety-Pinky and talented musicians of Entertainment Unlimited rocked the stage and dance floor with their old and new singing of traditional garbas, dandiya and famous sanedo with live music for more than five hours on both days. Participants from all age groups from all generations came together after missing last year’s celebration due to the pandemic.
