As a mark of blessings, all attendees received sacred Prasad from Ambaji Shaktipeeth, tying the evening back to its devotional roots.

Speaking about the event, Shruti Chaturvedi said:

“Aarambh Sharad Ratri was envisioned as a celebration where tradition meets community. We are overwhelmed with the love and participation from everyone who joined us – from leaders and creators to friends and family. This gathering was not just an event, but a reminder of how deeply culture connects us all, and I am grateful to each one who made it special.”
