The Indian Morning Ritual
A typical morning in an Indian household often begins with the scent of incense, the sound of mantras, or a humble cup of chai. Many families start their day with a short prayer, a sun salutation, or simply watering the tulsi (holy basil) plant — small acts that ground the day in presence and intention.
Ayurveda & Food Habits
From jeera water in the morning to turmeric milk at night, traditional diets in India are designed not just for taste but for well-being. Meals are often seasonal and aligned with body types. Spices like ginger, clove, and asafoetida aren’t just flavor — they’re functional healing agents.
