Garba and dandiya folk dances from Gujarat are widely played during the nine-day Navratri festival that marks the worshipping of nine incarnations of the Hindu Goddess Durga.
A group of women performing daredevil stunts as they groove to the 'garba' dance on bikes, scooters, and jeeps in Gujarat's Rajkot city has won the admiration of myriads of netizens who are full of praise for the enterprising dance troupe.
The video of their unique garba dance - in which several women can be seen dressed up in traditional 'chaniya choli' [long skirt and blouse] performing 'Talwar Ras' or sword-wielding on bikes, scooters, and jeeps - has gone viral.
During their spectacular performance at the Rajvi Palace in Gujarat state's Rajkot city, the women made a grand entrance, wielding swords and gallantly riding Royal Enfield Bikes, Land Rovers, and jeeps adorned with garlands.
They were followed by a couple of women riding on scooters while the riders stood on their seats, wielding swords.
The women drivers kept doing rounds on the ground in their marvellous acts of bravery as they celebrated Navratri by worshipping the nine divine incarnations of the goddess Durga, signifying the power of womanhood.
The video has gone viral, having received more than 300,000 views, and drawing enthusiastic reactions from netizens.
"Amazing. Hindu women everywhere should learn to do wield the sword," one user wrote.
"Absolutely electrifying! These women in Rajkot have taken Garba to a whole new level of excitement, dancing on motorcycles and cars with swords in hand. Their energy and devotion during Navratri is truly awe-inspiring," another user commented.

"That's not just a motorcycle, but a god-damn bullet 350CC. Hats off," added another.
