Nun's Stern Expression Captivates Bhopal's Garba Celebration

On October 1st, 2025, a video of a woman dressed as a nun performing dandiya with a group of women in Bhopal, India, has gone viral, drawing both amusement and criticism online. The clip, shared on Instagram by Sourabh Kahar, has already crossed two million views.

In the video, the woman, dressed in a nun's outfit, is seen dancing in sync with others. While her steps matched the rhythm, her stern expression—as she looked directly into the camera—stood out in contrast to the smiles of those around her enjoying the celebration.

The viral video has divided opinion among Instagram users. Some found the moment entertaining, noting that it was not the first time such a video had surfaced. However, others criticized the choice of outfit, calling it inappropriate for the Navratri festival. They argued that the festival is about "positive energy, not negativity with horrible makeovers."

Despite the mixed reactions, the video has undeniably caught the internet's attention. For some, it was a moment of entertainment, while for others, it raised questions about respect for cultural traditions during the Navratri celebrations.
