The famous Gujarati traditional dance, Garba, has secured its spot in UNESCO's list of 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity' (ICHH). Describing Garba as a "ritualistic and devotional dance" dedicated to the worship of the feminine energy or "Shakti", the dance form is the 15th element from India to be included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

"Garba fosters social equality by diluting socio-economic, gender and religious structures. It continues to be inclusive of diverse and marginalised communities, thus strengthening social bonds," the United Nations body said.
