This nine-day festival is dedicated to the nine avatars of the Indian deity Durga and is celebrated in an explosion of colour, song and dance. Most Navratri festivals have people rushing to dress up and then turn up at garba programmes. Preparations are done feverishly in the days leading up to the festival.

This season is no different. Scores of videos, colourful ensembles, dandiya invites and sticks have been jostling for space on social media since Tuesday. The proof lies in Instagram.

A bird's eye view of what over-excited garba gossip looks like

While this one walks away with most-boring-garba-of-the-year... (also we're not sure what this instagrammer was trying to zoom in on)
