Outdoors
An open garba ground at night, under floodlight towers and trees in fairy lights.
Open now
Up front by the band, with the crowd around you and the circle clapping behind.
The place
An open garba ground with floodlight towers, neem and peepal trees in fairy lights, rows of plastic chairs and parked scooters at the edges. The stage is deep and wide, with an LED screen running full height behind the band, and food stalls ring the ground.
- The sound
- Almost no reverb, just echoes off the speaker stacks and far buildings.
- The floor
- Beaten earth, with the trodden rings where each circle dances and a lime circle scattered with marigold petals.
- Watching from far off
- You sit in the rows of chairs, the dance floor filling the middle of the view.
- Arriving
- The view drops in through the clouds onto the ground.
