Men of this village dress as women during Navratri

Every year during the Navratri, a unique custom takes place in Sadu Mata Ni Pol, a locality in Ahmedabad. On the eighth night of the festival, men from the Barot community put on sarees and perform Garba- - a ceremonial dance. This astonishing tradition has been in practice for over 200 years and is deep-seated in a heart-wrenching story.
