  • No phone number required

    You sign in with Google. You never need to publish a phone number on your profile or in chats.

  • Photo review

    A reviewer compares a private selfie with your public profile photos. The selfie is never shown to anyone else.

  • Public places only

    Garba plans are built around public, familiar meeting points like the main entrance of a ground.

  • No live location

    A plan shares where and when, never where you are right now. There is no GPS tracking.

  • Check-ins that expire

    Checking in at a ground is optional, you choose who sees it, and it disappears at midnight.

  • Block, report, pause

    Block or report from any profile or chat. Pause your profile and come back whenever you are ready.

Your night, from first chat to home.

Simple habits for meeting anyone new during Navratri, whether you found them on Garba or not.

  1. Before you meet

    • Chat in Garba until you feel comfortable. There is no rush to share your number or social handles.
    • Look at their intent. If you are only here for a Garba partner, say so kindly, early.
    • Make a Garba plan with a named ground, a time and a public meeting point like the main entrance.
    • Tell a friend who you are meeting, where and when.
  2. At the ground

    • Meet at the entrance, in the crowd, where venue staff are around.
    • Stay with the circle. Garba grounds are busy and bright for a reason.
    • Keep your drink, your bag and your phone with you.
    • Check-ins are optional. If you use one, choose whether only your matches can see it.
  3. After the night

    • Head home on your own ride, at least the first time.
    • Not feeling it? You can end the connection quietly from the chat. No explanation needed.
    • Pause your profile any time you want a break from discovery.

House rules for the circle.

Break these and you lose access to Garba. Report anyone who does, from their profile or your chat.

Adults only
Everyone on Garba must be 18 or older.
Be yourself
Use your own recent photos. No fake profiles, no one else’s pictures.
Respect the intent
A Garba partner is a Garba partner. Pushing for more is not okay.
No harassment
No abuse, threats, unwanted explicit messages or pressure to meet.
No selling
No promotions, passes for sale, or asking for money.
Consent on the floor
Dancing together is not an invitation for anything else. Ask, listen, respect.

If you feel unsafe right now.

Leave, move towards the crowd or venue staff, and call for help. Then block and report in Garba.
