A 13-year-old also died some time after returning from a garba event but officials said it is unclear whether there is a link between the two.
At least 10 heart attack deaths have been reported at garba events across Gujarat in the past 24 hours and the youngest of the victims was just 17 years old.
Over 500 ambulance calls were made in 24 hours and the government has also issued an alert and asked the organisers of such events to take all necessary measures, including ensuring that ambulances are available to take people to hospitals if they feel unwell.
One such heartbreaking incident took place in the Kapadvanj town in Kheda district, where 17-year-old Veer Shah suddenly felt unwell and his nose started bleeding while playing garba at an event. He was immediately rushed to a hospital. By the time his parents, who were celebrating at another event, reached the hospital, he had been declared dead and a heart attack was said to be the cause of death.
