Parents and children connecting through stories

Festivals are deeper than we remember.

“I thought I knew Makar Sankranti...
until I learned why Bhishma Pitamah waited for Uttarayan.”

NamasteABC helps children understand festivals the way they were meant to be understood.

Child learning about festivals through seasons, food, epics, clothing and music

Festivals are not isolated events.

They connect to:

  • Seasons: harvest, spring, light
  • Food: what is cooked and why
  • Clothing & colours: what is worn and what it signifies
  • Epics: stories like Bhishma Pitamah and Uttarayan
  • Movement, dance, and music: rhythm and celebration that lift the spirit

Children learn why a festival exists, not just its name.

Festival stories calendar

Stories that arrive with the season.

Right now:

  • Makar Sankranti: Uttarayan, harvest traditions, and how it is celebrated across India and other countries under different names
  • Republic Day: freedom and responsibility, explained gently
  • Basant Panchami: learning, Saraswati, spring, and the beginning of Holika preparations

Stories arrive before the festival, so children understand what's happening around them.

A for Apple. A for Amma.

Learning begins with what feels familiar.

A is for Amma.

Amma means mother.

She is your first teacher and best friend.

Language grows from relationships.
Meaning grows from connection.
