A Falguni Pathak Playlist Is All You Need To Light Up a Dandiya Night
All that’s left is to grab your sticks & channel your inner Jethalal!
’Tis the season of twirling lehengas, clinking bangles, and neon dandiya sticks. But let’s be honest, no Navratri ever feels complete without the magic of Falguni Pathak. The undisputed Garba Queen, she has been the heartbeat of Navratri for decades. With her powerhouse vocals that can lift even the shyest dancer off their feet, Falguni transforms every night into a grand celebration.
This year, Mumbai’s Navratri event, Radiance Dandiya 2025 at Jio World Centre, BKC, roared to life with her live performance. And if that wasn’t proof enough of her unstoppable star power, remember how she brought down the house at the Ambani wedding in Jamnagar in 2024? Guests danced into the night as Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani’s pre-wedding bash turned into a full-fledged garba arena.
From aunties in mirror work odhnis to Gen Z dancing with their neon dandiya sticks, everyone finds themselves swaying when her beats drop. So, whether you’re planning your dandiya night or making a Navratri playlist, here are the songs that guarantee non-stop energy on the floor.
