Safe Garba for girls.

A checklist for Navratri nights: before you leave, at the ground, and meeting someone new. Nine nights of dancing, and a safe way home every one of them.

Before you leave

Go with your group, and agree the ground, the night and a time to leave before you set out.
Tell someone at home which ground you are going to and when you expect to be back.
Charge your phone and carry a small power bank. Nights run long.
Plan your ride home now, not at 1 am. Know where cabs and autos pick up at your ground.
Keep some cash and your ID in a pocket, not only in a bag you might put down.

At the ground

Pick one gate as your group's meeting point. Big grounds have several, and "near the stage" is not a place.
Note where the help desk, the police booth and the exits are when you arrive.
Keep your water with you, and do not accept an open drink from someone you just met.
Stay with your circle when the crowd doubles late in the night.
If something feels wrong, move towards people and lights, and tell a volunteer or the police.

Meeting someone new

Meet at the gate of a busy ticketed ground, never at a house or a quiet spot.
Keep your own ride there and back, so you can leave whenever you want.
Share your number only when you are sure. On Play Garba you never have to: you chat inside the app.
A photo someone sends you on Play Garba stays blurred until you choose to open it.
Block or report anyone who makes you uncomfortable. You do not owe anyone a reason.

Safe Garba: questions girls ask.

Is Garba safe for girls at night?

Garba at a busy, ticketed ground with security is as safe as any big crowd, and safest in a group. Plan your ride home in advance, keep your phone charged, pick one gate to meet at, and tell someone where you are.

What is the women's helpline number in Gujarat?

Abhayam, Gujarat's women's helpline, is 181 and answers all day and night. For any emergency, call 112 for the police, an ambulance or the fire service.

How do I stay safe meeting a new Garba partner?

Meet in public at the gate of a busy ground, keep your own ride, stay with your group, and share your number only when you are sure. On Play Garba you chat inside the app, photos sent to you stay blurred until you open them, and you can block or report anyone.

Can I use Play Garba to meet only girls?

Yes. Set "Who would you like to meet" to Women. You see only women, and anyone who has told us they are a man does not see you.
