Bollywood singer-performer Purva Mantri’s songs are adding more zing to Surtis’ Navratri revelry.
Surat, October 1: Navratri, the longest dance festival in the world, is here. Thanks to Covid-19, celebrations were muted for two years. This year, however, organisers and revellers are leaving no stone unturned to make up for the lost fun. Joining Surtis in the celebrations is popular Bollywood singer and independent artiste Purva Mantri, who is making revellers sway to her music at Suvarn Navrati Thakurji ni Wadi, the largest Navratri event in the Diamond City.
For Purva, performing in Surat is like returning home to perform at a family function. She has done a part of her schooling at Nand Niketan School in Hazira, Surat, and has fond memories of the city. “Surat is like a second home to me. It evokes a sense of warmth. I have always loved Garba. The energy of the people on the ground is so contagious that the more I perform, the higher my energy level goes,” the singer says.
