The arrival of Goddess Nanda Devi’s palanquin in our village is not just a religious ritual—it is a living cultural memory of the Himalayan villages. This year In our hills, the New Year does not begin with calendar dates, but with Nanda’s footsteps entering the village.

This year, her arrival felt deeply symbolic. Amid disasters, uncertainty, and the slow breaking of mountain life, the presence of Nanda Devi reminded us that folk faith is not about spectacle, but about quiet reassurance—of balance, protection, and resilience.

As the palanquin passed through narrow mountain paths, homes, and village squares, a sense of stillness and trust settled in. Those who witnessed it felt not celebration, but inner calm and continuity.

May this New Year, beginning with Nanda Devi’s arrival, bring peace, balance, and compassion to our lives—and strength to the Himalayan villages that carry these traditions forward.
