Papon recently celebrated Gudi Padwa with his wife at a farm in Karjat. He expressed his fascination with the diverse cultural tapestry of India, where multiple New Years are celebrated based on various calendars and traditions, all united by a common theme of hope for prosperity and happiness.
Highlighting the agricultural roots of the nation, Papon emphasized that these festivals go beyond symbolism, representing a deep connection with nature and the collective well-being of society. He finds the grounding aspect of celebrations tied to the land and communal welfare particularly appealing.
