Celebrating India’s Great Autumnal Festivities at Home
Across India, the arrival of autumn brings our country’s most vibrant cultural and spiritual celebrations: from the vibrant Garba and Ghat Sthapana of Gujarat and Maharashtra to the majestic Durga Puja pandals of Bengal and the sacred fasting rituals of North India.
