A little of everything

Dating is optional. The dance isn’t.

Everyone on Garba answers one question first: what brings you here? Your answer sits on your profile, so the person you match with already knows what kind of night you have in mind.

Open to dating

You are single, curious and would not mind if a Garba night turned into a first date. You only see people who chose the same.

When you match, the chat opens with: You both chose to explore a dating connection.

Made for your kind of night.

First-timers, one-more-round people, the ones who came with twelve cousins. Pick the one that sounds like you.

You set the pace. Every time.

You are not here to be followed around the ground. You want a good night, on your terms, with someone who gets that from the first message.

  • Sign in with Google. No phone number is required.
  • Choose who sees your check-in: people at the ground, or only your matches.
  • A match is an invitation to talk, never an obligation to meet or date.
  • Block or report from any profile or chat. Pause your profile whenever you like.
Garba app safety screen: your comfort comes first

From hello to the main entrance in five steps.

No app store, no long forms. Garba runs in your phone browser and takes a few minutes to set up.

  1. Make your profile

    Sign in with Google, confirm you are 18 or older, confirm where you are, and add at least two photos. Photo verification is a separate step you can take later, from your finished profile.

  • No phone number required

  • Public places only

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

Sound familiar?

If any of these crossed your mind this week, you are exactly who we built Garba for.

Not reviews. Things people say to their friends every October.

  • Everyone in my group paired up for dandiya. Again.

  • I know all the steps. I just need someone who does too.

  • Moved to Vadodara for work. Zero Garba friends so far.

  • Not looking for a date. Looking for someone who won’t step on my feet.

  • Okay, maybe a date. After the dance.

  • Two passes, one friend who cancelled.

  • Nine nights is a lot of nights on the sidelines.

  • I want to meet someone at the ground, not in a random DM.

  • Garba There’s room for all of it. Pick your intent and find your round.

Questions, answered.

Straight answers about swipes, safety and who you will meet.

What is the Garba app?

Garba is a Navratri app to find your Garba partner. You make a profile, choose what you are here for, pick the grounds and nights you plan to dance, and swipe through people going the same way. When you both like each other, you match and can chat and make a plan.

Is Garba a dating app?

Only if you want it to be. You choose from four intents: just a Garba partner, open to dating, Garba and maybe more, or a little of everything. Your intent shows on your profile, so nobody is guessing what you came for.

Is Garba free?

Yes. Everyone gets free swipes on their first login and new swipes every day, and chatting with your matches is free. Paid plans add more swipes and extras, by the week, the month or three months. Safety tools are free on every plan.

Which cities is Garba available in?

We are starting with Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Vadodara and Surat for Navratri 2026. More cities in India will follow.

How does Garba keep women safe?

You sign in with Google and never need to publish a phone number. A reviewer compares a private selfie with your profile photos. Plans are made for public, familiar places, check-ins are optional and expire at midnight, and there is no GPS tracking. You can block or report anyone from their profile or your chat, and pause your profile any time.

Does photo review mean everyone is verified?

Photo review is a likeness check: a reviewer compares your private selfie with your public photos. It is not proof of identity, age, background or safety, so always meet in public places and trust your instincts.

Can I use Garba if I am going with my friends?

Of course. Most people dance in groups. Keep your circle, and use Garba to find one more person for the round, or someone who is going to the same ground on the same night.

Who can join Garba?

Adults aged 18 and over. You sign in with Google, confirm your age, and add at least two profile photos.

Do I need to download anything?

No app store needed. Garba runs in your phone browser, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.

When is Navratri 2026?

Sharad Navratri 2026 begins on Sunday, 11 October and the ninth night is Monday, 19 October. Dussehra is on Tuesday, 20 October 2026.

Some people come to dance. Some come to meet someone. Both are welcome in the same circle.

Nine nights. No pressure either way.

Nine nights. One circle. Maybe your person.

Make your profile tonight, and walk into the first Garba night already knowing who you are meeting at the entrance.

No app store needed. Open Garba in your browser and add it to your home screen.
