Pet Pataaka

Pet Pataaka was a community cooking event aimed at revisiting the culture and traditions associated with Diwali, a festival celebrated in India. The organisers invited people to slow down and relive a part of the past to throw more light on the present and the future. The event included a workshop on creating personalised packaging based on memories, a session on making sweets, and an experience-sharing discussion on the future of festive food. The cooking session involved making a delicacy that has many names and forms across the country and defines the diversity of the Indian culture. Participants were encouraged to share their own cooking twists and have fun while making food with love. The event aimed to bring communities closer and showcase how food is entwined with every festival celebrated in the country.
