In this issue

The star of the October issue of Culturama is Shakti or woman. This month, as
the UN celebrates the International Day of the Girl Child on October 11, we gear up to celebrate Diwali,
and also make a resolution to light up the lives of women we know. Our Feature story brings out the legends
linked to water in Indian mythology, that celebrates the power of women by epitomizing them as Goddesses. Like the one associated with Goddess Ganga who embraced the earth as a river, and more. In the ‘In-Focus’ column, we showcase a school in a village in northern India that holds India’s first rural marathon in an effort to empower girls and break social barriers – yet another celebration of woman power. We remember Mahatma Gandhi on
his birth anniversary in a special timeline of historic events in his life. Also read about the ancient tradition of
‘Pilkhuwa’ printing in our ‘Picture Story; Travel to the cold deserts of Ladakh in ‘Seeing India’; Add a Sindhi
dish to your menu from ‘In your Kitchen’, there’s lot more in the October issue!
