While it's nice to see celebrities visiting temples, I wish media would focus more on the spiritual significance of Annakut rather than just celebrity appearances. The festival itself deserves the spotlight.

The cultural richness of Indian festivals never ceases to amaze me. The concept of offering food to deities and then distributing it as prasad is beautiful. More people should experience this tradition.
