Modern Garba is also heavily influenced by ''[[Dandiya Raas]]'' ([[Gujarati language|Gujarātī]]: ડાંડીયા), a dance traditionally performed by men. <!--and from which the sticks originate. These sticks, which can vary from 1.5 to 2 feet in length, are meant to represent the sword of the avenging Goddess [[Durga]] ([[Sanskrit]]: दुर्गा).-->The merger of these two dances has formed the high-energy dance that is seen today.<ref name="doi">{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/?id=h67wZpGPUi0C& | Modern Garba is also heavily influenced by ''[[Dandiya Raas]]'' ([[Gujarati language|Gujarātī]]: ડાંડીયા), a dance traditionally performed by men. <!--and from which the sticks originate.

Both men and women usually wear colorful costumes while performing garba and [[dandiya]]. The girls and the women wear [[Chaniya choli]], a three-piece dress with a [[choli]], which is an embroidered and colorful blouse, teamed with [[chaniya]], which is the flared, skirt-like bottom, with intricate work and [[dupatta]], which is usually worn in the traditional Gujarati manner. Chaniya Cholis are decorated with beads, shells, mirrors, stars, and embroidery work, mati, etc. Traditionally, women adorn themselves with jhumkas (large earrings), necklaces, [[Bindi (decoration)|bindi]], bajubandh, chudas and kangans, kamarbandh, payal, and mojiris. Boys and men wear kafni pyjamas with a ''Ghagra'' - a short round [[kurta]] - above the knees and pagadi on the head with bandhini dupatta, kada, and mojiris. In Gujarati, this costume worn by men is called ''<nowiki/>'Kediyu'.'' Over the years, the interest in Garba has only increased. There is a huge interest in Garba among the youth of India and in particular, the Gujarati diaspora. Traditionally, this dance is performed in concentric circles and the entire group performs once step in sync, with the beat starting slow and slowly catching on speed. | Both men and women usually wear colorful costumes while performing garba and [[dandiya]].
