A typical day in an Indian household starts before the sun. In many homes, the day begins with the puja (prayer) and the lighting of an oil lamp, filling the house with the scent of incense.
At the core of the Indian lifestyle is the concept of "togetherness." While the traditional —where three or more generations live under one roof—is evolving into nuclear setups in urban centers, the "emotional joint family" remains intact.
In Indian culture, food is never just sustenance; it is an expression of affection. Daily life stories are often centered around the dining table.
