During the summit, held under India’s G20 presidency, a momentous event occurred with the formal induction of the African Union (AU) into the grouping. Additionally, the world leaders present at the event reached a consensus, leading to the adoption of a significant declaration.

This elaborate presentation coincides with the ongoing festival of Shardiya Navratri, a nine-day celebration dedicated to worshipping Maa Durga and her nine avatars, known as Navdurga. Hindus, observing this auspicious period, participate in various rituals and festivities, making this pandal’s theme both culturally resonant and globally relevant.
