Garbo
A “GARBO” is an earthen pot with holes all around and “Light” within which signifies knowledge.The word Garbo seems to have originated from the word“Garbha Deep”, meaning a Light in the inner sanctum of the temple.
In the villages of Gujarat, the Garbo is placed in the center and brightly dressed ladies move around it singing and and playing a dance form called Garba.
The concept of Garbo is related to microcosm (smaller analysis ) and macrocosm ( larger analysis).
Microcosm : An earthen pot with holes, through which a flickering light shines through is similar to the human body (an earthen pot) with inner light of god within.
Macrocosm : The Universe of ours is as an earthen pot and light (Sun, Sakti) energy of the supreme reality shining through.
Moving around a circle in a Garbo, indicate the never-ending cycle of creation, maintenance anddestruction phases of supreme reality. So now you know what you’ll depict when dancing the Garba!
