The Annual Christmas Trip to India
Ahmedabad Mirror|December 25, 2024
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Toys in every store...
DR ARPAN YAGNIK

This classic American carol paints a picture of festive cheer, but for the Indian diaspora, the holiday season unfolds with a distinct flavor. While the spirit of Christmas remains universal, their celebrations are often a delightful blend of Western traditions and deeply rooted Indian customs.

One of the most defining features of Christmas for many Indian diaspora families is the annual pilgrimage back to India. Months of anticipation build up as they meticulously plan their trip, utilizing vacation time and school holidays. The allure of escaping the harsh North American winters and embracing the warmth of the Indian climate adds another layer of excitement.
