Coexistence Mela
A major milestone for our Coexistence Fellowship Programme, this event will showcase the work and the vision of this unique Programme. It brings together the indigenous communities our Coexistence Fellows work with, folk artists, and filmmakers to showcase the nuanced ways in which people relate with nature. Through a combination of performances, film screenings and exhibits, it hopes to bring these rarely heard stories and themes from all over India to a common platform, with the hope that through this joint celebration of our diverse and unique relationships with nature, we can reconnect to our roots and continue to co-adapt and co-evolve with our non-human cohabitants.

Panchakarma and the role of Diet
Panchakarma (“five actions”) cleanses the body and balances the doshas through therapies like Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana. Diet plays a key role before, during, and after Panchakarma, supporting digestion, aiding detox, and restoring strength. Following a gradual, stepwise post-therapy diet and avoiding heavy or processed foods ensures lasting benefits
