A great Navratri playlist, like a good story, has a rhythm. It should start with moderately paced songs to allow dancers to warm up. Tracks like “Meri Chunar Udd Udd Jaye” are perfect for this phase.
The peak of the night should feature the most high-energy, fast-paced songs, such as “Indhana Winva Gayi Thi” and “Odhni Odhu Odhu Ne Udi Jaye,” which are ideal for the frenetic, joyful circling of the garba. Ending with a beloved favorite like “Chudi Jo Khanki Haathon Mein” ensures the night concludes on a high note of collective nostalgia and joy.
