Ode to Indian Culture
The land where rivers flow like a grand parade,
Wisdom whispers softly, in the winds that cascade.
Colors of festivals paint the sky so bright,
From Diwali’s glow to Eid's crescent night.
The scent of spices wafts through bustling sights,
Each corner tells a tale where history writes.
Silk saris swirl in hues of dusk and brown,
A dance of traditions waiting to be found.
In temples and mosques, prayers offered by all,
A tapestry woven, where love binds us all.
Voices echo anthems of unity in grace,
In the heart of the chaos, a bond we embrace.
Songs of birds capture the essence for lovers,
In every verse, rhythm flows like sweet nectar, forever.
From mountains so high to the oceans so wide,
In the warmth of our culture, we stand side by side.
Crafts of the artisan remind us of partition,
In every creation, our spirit’s tradition.
With hands that create and hearts that believe,
In the beauty of heritage, we learn to weave.
So here’s to the land where diversity reigns,
In laughter and sorrow, in joy and in pains.
Let’s cherish our roots, let our voices resound,
In the mosaic of India, true beauty is found.
