Garba nights, together

Four simple steps

How GarbaMate works

  1. Step 1: Create your free profile

    Add a few photos, your garba style and the nights you're free. It takes about two minutes.

  2. Step 2: Pick your garba night

    Choose the event and the date you're going to. No plans yet? Meet people across your city.

  3. Step 3: Like, match and chat

    Like people going the same night. When the like is mutual, it's a match and you can chat.

  4. Step 4: Meet at the garba

    Agree where to meet, then dance the night away together. Nearby helps you find each other.

Made with care

Why GarbaMate?

Other apps are built for endless swiping. GarbaMate is built for one thing: finding good company for the garba nights you're actually going to.

  • Made for Navratri

    Everything is built around real garba nights, so every match is someone who'll actually be there.

  • Safety first

    Every member confirms their email. Block or report anyone in one tap, and our team reviews every report.

  • Verified profiles

    Members can verify with a quick selfie. Look for the badge before you meet.

  • Only matches can chat

    Nobody can message you until you've both said yes. Unmatch at any time and the chat closes.

  • Find each other at the ground

    Turn on Nearby at the venue to see who's around. We show rough distance, never your exact location.

  • You're in control

    Hide your profile whenever you like, and choose which notifications you get.

Questions, answered

Is GarbaMate free?

Yes. Creating an account, matching and chatting are free. If an event sells passes, you pay the organiser for those.

Do I need to be going to an event?

No. Pick an event and night if you have one. If not, you can meet people across your city and plan together.

Who can see my profile?

Only signed-in GarbaMate members. You can hide your profile at any time in Settings, and people you block can't see you.

Is it safe to meet someone?

Meet at the garba itself, in a busy public place, and tell a friend your plans. Block and report are on every profile and chat. In an emergency, call 112.

What if I forget my password?

Tap “Forgot password?” on the log-in screen. We'll email you a 6-digit code so you can set a new one.
