Social media can be a really interesting place and users are often treated with some of the most hilariously bizarre moments caught on camera. Well, something similar happened on Navratri night and a video showing two people dressed as Valak from the horror film The Nun were seen playing Garba. The video has evoked mixed reactions online, with some drawing parallels with Halloween, the Western festival where people get dressed as spooky characters.
“During garba in my city,” a woman named Saloni wrote while sharing the video on X, formerly Twitter.
The video shows the two cosplaying as The Nun characters dancing enthusiastically with people dressed in traditional attire during Navratri celebrations. Many were seen recording the duo’s unusual antics.
Many people labelled their antics disrespectful to goddess Durga, and one user commented, “Garba is a celebration to dance and please around Godess Durga.. not Halloween.. Budhi Bhrast ho gaya hai logon ka.”
“It is not at all funny. They should be punished for mocking Devi Maa. Garba is not a dance or fancy dress show. It is about worshipping the Goddess. The current generation is spoiled completely,” another said.
“When you’re dead from inside but went to garba due to peer pressure,” said another netizen. “When you got all ready for the Halloween party, but went to Garbha under peer pressure,” joked yet another.
