Yesterday felt like a little piece of home. 🌸
I attended Varalakshmi Pooja and received tambulam. The pooja, traditional clothes, conversations and warmth of celebrating with other women made the day feel special.
After moving away from India, I have started valuing these moments even more. Our traditions don’t only remind us where we come from—they help us feel connected and rooted, even when we are far from home.
A simple, beautiful evening filled with culture, faith and togetherness. ❤️
Which tradition makes you feel closest to home?
