As the calendar turns to October, we find ourselves stepping into a realm of resplendence, where each day shimmers with the magic of festivities. It's a month that ignites our souls, setting our hearts aglow with anticipation. From the onset of Navratri to the dazzling magnificence of Diwali and the warmth of Bhai Dooj, October is a tapestry of celebrations woven with love, devotion, and boundless joy.


In this enchanting time of year, India adorns herself in vibrant colors, lights up the darkest corners, and fills the air with the fragrant promise of new beginnings. It is a period when traditions come to life, history finds expression through rituals, and the bonds of family and friendship are renewed around the auspicious flames of diyas.

Dussehra - Triumph of Good over Evil (24th October 2023)
