The clapping of hands.
The clacks of the dandiya sticks.
Beautiful traditional outfits to twirl in.
The nine festive days -- and nine nights of dandiya and garba -- are nearly upon us.
On October 3, these dancers will be showing their best moves.
Dear Readers, send us your Navratri pictures.
As you look your best during these nine days, with gorgeous costumes and jewellery, share your fun moments with us.
Write in to getahead@rediff.co.in (My Navratri Pix) and we will post the best pictures right here on Rediff.com.
Chalo ramva jaiye!
