A New Rhythm for the Next Generation: Be Taali, Rajkot’s First Kids’ Garba 🪈
In the vibrant city of Rajkot, where the air hums with the spirit of tradition and festivity, a new sound is emerging—one of joyful, tiny footsteps. This year, the city’s festive landscape is set to change with the arrival of “Be Taali,” a pioneering event poised to become Rajkot’s very first Garba night dedicated exclusively to children and their parents. Organized by Orphic Events, the creative minds behind the successful “2 Taali” series, this unique celebration promises a safe, engaging, and unforgettable experience for the youngest members of our community.
The Garba, a traditional Gujarati folk dance, is more than just a dance form; it’s a cultural heartbeat. It’s a circle of life and tradition, passed down through generations. However, the usual late-night Garba celebrations can be challenging for young children. Recognizing this, Orphic Events has conceptualized “Be Taali,” a solution that brilliantly blends tradition with a child-centric approach. This event is not just a Garba night; it’s an introduction to culture, a playground for tradition, and a space where kids can learn, play, and connect with their heritage in a way that is designed just for them.
Scheduled for Sunday, September 14, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM (IST), “Be Taali” is carefully timed to align with a child’s rhythm, ensuring they are energetic and engaged without the strain of a late night. The venue for this landmark event is Saraza, strategically located on Kalavad Rd, opposite Cosmoplex Cinema in Rajkot. This accessible location makes it easy for families to attend and participate in the festivities.
What truly sets “Be Taali” apart is its thoughtful and innovative multi-zone concept. The organizers have meticulously designed the event to cater to different age groups, recognizing that a toddler’s needs are vastly different from those of a pre-teen. The event is divided into three distinct zones, each offering a tailored experience.
First is the Toddler Zone, designed for the youngest attendees, aged 2-4 years. This zone is a gentle introduction to the Garba spirit. It’s a space where the music is light and the atmosphere is calm, allowing toddlers to explore the beats at their own pace. Parents can be at ease knowing their little ones are in a safe and stimulating environment, surrounded by soft music and an encouraging ambiance.
Next, for the slightly older kids, aged 4-7 years, is the Guided Garba Zone. Here, the energy picks up a notch. This zone is a perfect blend of learning and fun, where children can learn simple Garba steps under the guidance of trained instructors. This is where the magic of the dance begins to unfold for them. The zone also incorporates engaging games, making the learning process interactive and enjoyable. It’s a place where children can not only dance but also build confidence and social skills.
Finally, for the energetic youngsters aged 7-12 years, there is the Energetic Zone. This is where the traditional Garba comes alive with a modern twist. With trained instructors leading the way, kids in this zone will learn more complex steps and routines, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the high-energy dance. The focus here is on passion and precision, giving older children a chance to showcase their skills and truly connect with the Garba form.
The event’s core philosophy is to create a secure and memorable environment for all. It’s a family affair, with parents expected to accompany their children throughout the evening. This not only ensures safety but also fosters a shared experience, creating lasting memories for both generations.
Tickets for this one-of-a-kind celebration start at INR 1,299. In a gesture of appreciation, Orphic Events has also provided various discount codes, offering a 10% discount on tickets, making the event more accessible to a wider range of families. It is important for attendees to note the event’s no-refund policy, which applies unless the event is canceled by the organizer.
“Be Taali” is more than just an event; it’s a vision. It’s a testament to Rajkot’s commitment to nurturing its cultural roots while embracing innovation. By creating a Garba night that is specifically for children, Orphic Events is ensuring that the love for this beautiful dance form is instilled from a young age, guaranteeing that the rhythm of Garba will continue to beat strong for generations to come. It’s an opportunity for children to be a part of their heritage, to make new friends, and to experience the pure joy of a festival designed just for them.
