Fifteen Years, One Family

It is easy to forget, amid the drumbeats and decorations, that this Mandal started with almost nothing. A few folding chairs, one borrowed idol, and a handful of neighbors who simply wanted to celebrate together. Fifteen years later, that small gathering has grown into a family of five hundred members and counting. As we look ahead to this year's festivities, we want to thank every single person who showed up, volunteered, donated, or simply believed in what we were building. This Mandal exists because of you, and its next chapter will be written by you too.
