It's me baby! Let's meet at the
tree next to Juhu Jagruti," flashes on the computer screen and hey, a dandiya date is
on. This Navratri, enthusiasts are discovering a whole new zone of virtual dandiya.
Electronic greetings, tunes, jokes, chat rooms, tips to improve dandiya steps along with a
deluge of gimmickry has found its way on to the Net through specially created sites for
the festival. Websites like www.garba@mumbaicommune.com, www.dandiyazone.com
and www.showbizindia.com/sankalp are flooding the Internet with information about
events that will take place right through the festival. Says Sandeep Agrawal, founder and
e-strategist, www.ahmedabad.com: "Over 12,000 visitors are jamming
our site across the globe. NRIs want to watch their relatives play dandiya through live
webcasts." An interesting option for dandiya addicts who enjoy the spirit of the
festival but can't handle crowds.
