Summary:
Rains may have forced organisers to cancel garba during the first two days but revellers were all set to face the monsoon with their own designer raincoats. A city-based designer has worked upon transparent raincoats, which Garba enthusiasts could wear over the chaniya cholis or kurtas to beat the rain. When it is not raining, they wear normal traditional dresses, and when it rains, they just put on the raincoat. It worked," said Radhika Marfatiya, a city-based dress designer, choreographer, who has dance classes for Garba. Some societies did take a risk hosting Garbas, but there were cases of enthusiasts slipping, forcing them to cancel it..
