“With this song, we wanted to bring those timeless roots into a joyful, fresh sound that speaks to today’s generation while keeping the soul of our traditional Garba intact. I hope listeners feel the devotion to Maa, the joy of Garba, and that beautiful connection to our roots every time they hear ‘Ghor Andhari’,” she added.
