He Ranglo is an example of a folk song that would be sung and performed as part of a garba or dandiya raas – community folk dances from Gujarat, India performed during celebrations and festivals such as at Navratri.

These folk dances involve coordinated movements in a circular pattern, clapping and stepping (garba) or striking a pair of sticks (dandiyas) to the beat of the music, with the steps and patterns becoming faster and more energetic as the music progresses. Garba and dandiya raas are often performed as part of celebrations of the festival Navratri, as well as any community celebration or gathering throughout Gujarat and beyond.
