Religious significance behind playing Garba/Dandiya in Navratri

Navratri not only symbolizes the victory of good over evil (Goddess Durga's victory over Mahishasur) but also celebrates the spirit of Indian culture in its togetherness. Garba is a dance form originated in Gujarat, performed during Navratri - a 9-day festival of Goddess Durga. It is also known as Garbi, Garbha or Garbha Deep. In 'Garbha Deep', the word 'Garbha' is a Sanskrit term, which means womb and 'Deep' means little earthen lamps.
