Maa Shakti (previously known as Aarki) is the name of the world record garba, which has been organized every year by Mr. Jayesh Thakkar and his NGO Samvedan Charitable Trust which runs the garba festival in the city of Vadodara.

Jayesh Thakkar has organised this event under Sam Vedan Charitable Trust.

Navratri, who strongly believed in the traditional form of Garba, introduced it.

Owing to the organising committee, Maa Shakti/RISHABH Group of Vadodara has taken a global face.

The organisers set rules such as the dancers only being allowed on the ground wearing traditional costumes and aarti of the goddess Amba.
