As the day of Ram wapis draws closer, there is excitement all over India. All the temples in all the regions all over the country are gearing up for a big celebration.
In Mumbai Iskcon Temple has been sparkling since a few days and most residents in the area I live in have decorated their homes and gardens with fairy lights.
The building I live in is hosting a party to celebrate the big day together and the women are planning a dress code. The excitement is palpable.
In so many years of my growing up I have never experienced such bonhomie. It is collective feeling and it is special.
