🎉 UPAD TIMES – AYODHYA EDITION IS NOW LIVE! 🎉

Dear UPAD Family,

We are delighted to share the June 2026 edition of UPAD Times, dedicated to one of the most sacred and enduring cities in our civilization — Ayodhya.

This issue explores Ayodhya not as a tourist destination, but as a living center of faith, culture, memory, and civilizational continuity. Through articles on its history, culture, development, community, food traditions, and global diaspora connections, we hope to offer readers a deeper appreciation of what Ayodhya has meant to generations of Indians and what it continues to mean today.

We invite you to explore the issue and share it with family and friends. As always, your feedback, suggestions, and future story ideas are welcome.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, research, writing, editing, design, and encouragement in bringing this issue to life.

Happy reading!

🌸🎨 Tomorrow, let’s leave behind our busy routines for a few hours and simply celebrate together as a community. 🎨🌸

UPAD Holi is not just about colors.

It is about:
🤝 meeting friends and families
😊 laughing together
🎶 music, dance and masti
🍛 enjoying authentic UP-style food
🌈 celebrating our beautiful traditions with the next generation

Many of us spend the whole year busy with work and responsibilities. Events like this give us a chance to reconnect, recharge and create memories together.

And honestly… some of the best UPAD memories and friendships have started at gatherings just like this ❤️

Rain or shine — the celebration is ON tomorrow!

We look forward to seeing the entire UPAD family at Heritage Park.
