Shri Narayan Residency, near Sunderban Society in the Ranip area of Ahmedabad, saw a remarkable display of devotion when the entire housing society joined forces to hold a grand Sundarkand Path.
The Whole Society Pitches In
What set the event apart was that every family in the society worked on it together. From the arrangements to the decoration, residents took a hand in every task.
A Session of Bhajan-Kirtan
A lively session of bhajan-kirtan was held alongside the Sundarkand Path. Children and elders alike took part with enthusiasm, and a rare atmosphere of devotion settled over the residency.
The Social Role of Society Events
In modern housing societies, neighbours often remain strangers to one another. Shared religious events play an important social role in that setting — bringing residents onto a common platform, helping them get to know each other and building a sense of collective life within the society. In areas such as Ranip, where families from many different states live side by side, such events also become an occasion for cultural exchange.
How Ranip Is Changing
Ranip is one of those parts of Ahmedabad where new residential projects have gone up rapidly in recent years. Families from many different states live together in these societies, and shared religious events serve as a bridge between them.
