The launch unfolded as a radiant celebration  of  Pongal, the cherished harvest festival where gratitude is offered to the Sun God, the earth, and the faithful farm animals for the season’s bountiful yield.

The atmosphere was transformed by elaborate festive decorations that captured the vibrant spirit of the occasion. In a moment of true grace, Maya Rajesh,  wife of  Rajesh Kalyanaraman guided the audience through the rhythmic preparation of the Pongal dish, weaving a narrative of heritage and community. As she lit the auspicious flame, allowing guests to share in its warmth and blessing, the room was filled with a sense of profound reverence. It was a moving reminder of the beauty found in keeping our sacred traditions and cultural sanctity vibrantly alive.
