One Story, Many Festivals

As Surya ascends northward, positive energies flow. In Gujarat, the sky fills with vibrant kites, each carrying a silent prayer for health, dreams, and a bright year ahead.
In the fertile lands of Assam, the Meji bonfires burn away hardships. It is a celebration of fire, food, and fellowship, where the community gathers to offer the first grains of harvest.
In Tamil Nadu, pots of rice and milk boil over with the joyous cry of “Pongalo Pongal!” It is a festival of gratitude to nature, cattle, and the abundance that overflows in our lives.
"Whether it is the kites of the west, the bonfires of the east, or the overflowing pots of the south—these are all chapters of one great story. A story where the Sun leads, Nature provides, and humanity learns to live in balance."
