But, some groups started using scarves ('dupattas') to section off their own private dance areas, taking up lots of space.
A man from Mumbai made a video complaining about this, because it leaves less room for others to dance and enjoy the event.
Many people online agreed, saying Garba should be for everyone, not just a few groups hogging space.
