A heartfelt journey back to India, this story follows Niharika “Nira” Giri as she returns to her ancestral village in Bihar to celebrate her Dhadhi Ma’s 100th birthday. Blending memory, whakapapa, and family tradition, she reflects on migration, cultural rituals, and the meaning of whānau across generations. From Delhi to Gopalganj, and from shared meals to a gathering of thousands, this is a story of roots, love, and coming home.
Written and Narrated by Niharika Giri
