Mumbai Creator’s ‘Digital Garba’ for NRI Friends Goes Viral on Instagram

The playful Navratri clip invites tags for absent friends to let printed photos stand in for participation.

Overview

  • Mumbai-based creator Viraj Ghelani posted a Sept 24 video dancing Garba while holding printed photos of two NRI friends, dubbing it a “digital garba.”
  • The Instagram post has amassed roughly 1.3 million views and more than 60,000 likes, according to Hindustan Times’ latest figures.
  • His caption invited viewers to tag people who want a “digital garba” because they are missing the real Garba experience.
  • Commenters called the idea fun and heartwarming, tagged friends abroad, and joked it looked like a “new startup.”
  • Ghelani has over 1 million Instagram followers, and India Today speculated the idea may echo Deepak Goyal’s earlier “digital photo snan” concept.
