The best video will win a holiday trip from Mahindra.

With the onset festive season, people across the country are celebrating Navrati and Durga Puja with full fervour. And much like any Indian festival, this season too is incomplete with delicious food and of course some dancing.

Since Dandiya and Garba form a big part of the celebrations welcoming Goddess Durga, business tycoon Anand Mahindra wanted some suggestions and dance tutorials to brush up his dancing skills, and ended up hosting a competition for the best ‘Dandiya Dad’ this year. Now, his timeline is flooded with some amazing performances that will brighten your festival all the more.

“Video your dad doing dandiya, tweet & tag me. I will personally sponsor the most entertaining dad for 2 nights for a family of 4 at a Club Mahindra of your choice in India. Final entries by Tuesday 8th!,” the Mahindra Group Chairman announced online.

Not many good suggestions.

@anandmahindra My “Dandiya Dad” (and Mom), the stress-buster of his family. He’s celebrating his first Navratri with his newborn grand-daughter (my niece❤️).
Happy Navratri, Mr. Mahindra. 😀 pic.twitter.com/P8sNQLaAZN

शरण्ये त्र्यंबके गौरी, नारायणी नमोस्तुते।।

घटस्थापना व शारदीय नवरात्रौत्सव
