Explanation:

Difference between Dandiya and Garba.

The main difference between Garba and Dandiya is that Dandiya is played with Dandiyas (pair of colorfully decorated sticks), while Garba consists of various hand and feet movements. Most of the Dandiya steps require even number of people while in Garba there is no such requirement on number of people.

For Dandiya, sometimes instead of sticks, people also use "Swords".

Dandiya dance form is actually the staging of a mock-fight between the Goddess and Mahishasura.

Garba is performed before Aarti (worshipping ritual) as devotional performances in the honor of the Goddess, while Dandiya is performed after it, as a part of merriment.
