'Ghume Aeno Garbo' is a song written by PM Narendra Modi when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2012. Supporting the visually-impaired girls, Twitteratti also showered their love.
A user wrote, "Garba is an important tradition of Navrathri festival. When God takes away one of the senses like eyesight, he sharpens another one. These blind girls have an excellent understanding of music and dance of Garbha spirit."
