Sundar, The Man and the Vision

Sundar, The Man and the Vision

Sundar, in Sanskrit, literally means Beautiful, Attractive.

Sundar also was the name of one of our Founder’s Dadaji - paternal grandfather.

Sundar Singh was born and raised in the Punjab, a crossroads of 5 rivers criss crossing the northern part of the Indian Subcontinent. In 1947 as India secured independence from British rule, Punjab was also divided into two countries, and Sundar found himself fleeing, a refugee in a new land, a newly formed country. India.

And it was from here, he started again. Rebuilding a beautiful life and a future for his children and a legacy for theirs.

And so it is with his brave, proud and courageous spirit, we aim to bring a little of the beauty of India to you here in Aotearoa, and to hold closely the threads that are interwoven into our children that call us back to our ancestral lands, customs and culture.
