The Queen of Dandiya has been in the limelight for the past two decades as she is known for her famous Navratri tours throughout India and the US. This year marked her 6th annual tour within the US. She first began making waves within the music industry in India with songs such as “Maine Payal Hai Chankayi” and “Meri Chonnar Ud Ud Jaye” and has since gained an incredible fan following.
Even before Pathak had made her appearance on stage, the crowd was bustling with energy and yearned for the Queen to finally approach and fill the stadium with her sweet, melodious voice. The audience, wild with vivacity and excitement for the night to officially begin, danced their hearts out to the background music as they awaited Pathak’s appearance.
When the Queen herself arrived, she did not disappoint. To say she shined would be an understatement as she performed classics such as, “Pari Hun Mein” and “Dholida Dhol Re Vagad”. Fans savored every moment and never missed a beat as they continued to dance vigorously to the varied rhythms brought by her. Throughout the venue, people of all generations were seen enjoying the harmonious tunes, from children following their parents’ footsteps and learning how to play with dandiyas to grandparents wistfully dancing and making new memories.
The night was truly remarkable as the concert drew not only community members but those from the mainstream as well. One fan commented on how she traveled from Delhi to experience the live concert. Though Pathak and her fans could have danced the night away, the concert came to a bittersweet end. Everyone left with a smile on their face and new memories to cherish until the next time.
