Friendship Day was originally proposed in **1930** by **Joyce Hall**, the founder of Hallmark Cards in the United States. The idea was to dedicate a day to celebrate friendships by exchanging cards and heartfelt messages. However, the day didn't gain much popularity initially and faded in the US. But in **Latin American and Asian countries**, it started gaining momentum—especially in countries like **Paraguay, India, Bangladesh, and Malaysia**.

The 2025 Jagannath Rath Yatra is not just a religious procession but a profoundly communal and spiritual event: * **Nine days of ritual devotion** culminating in shared celebration * **Massive, colorful chariots** embodying divine presence on earth * **Spiritual inclusivity**: everyone is welcome to pull the ropes

**Let’s paint, let’s feel, and let’s grow together.** This is more than just a creative space—it’s a journey of self-expression, connection, and personal growth through art. Whether you're picking up a brush for the first time or returning to painting after years, here we celebrate the process, not just the outcome. We paint to express emotions, to slow down, and to see beauty in the everyday. We feel deeply—through color, texture, and movement. And together, we grow: as artists, as individuals, and as a supportive community.
