San Antonio Garba Beyond Borders Event Links Dance to Trafficking Awareness

Blume Foundation’s two-day Garba Beyond Borders event at San Antonio’s Freeman Coliseum paired Navratri devotion and Garba dance with human-trafficking awareness and a celebration of Indian–Mexican cultural connections. Organizers drew on Garba’s association with the Sanskrit word for “womb” to emphasize protecting people from exploitation and fostering dignity and belonging. The event followed the city’s 2025 proclamation of September 13 as Garba Day.
