April is a special time for many Indian communities. It marks the arrival of the solar New Year with vibrant festivals like Baisakhi (Punjab), Puthandu (Tamil Nadu), Vishu (Kerala), Pohela Boishakh (Bengal), Bohag Bihu (Assam), and others. While each state has its own traditions, food, and customs, they share a common theme—renewal, prosperity, and family togetherness.
For the Indian diaspora, especially in a diverse place like the San Francisco Bay Area, these festivals take on a unique flavor shaped by intercultural marriages and multicultural households.
