The Wheel of Time and Democracy: India’s Grand Stage
But this isn’t just any wheel. Originating in the 13th century under King Narasimhadeva-I, this monumental artifact is more than a sundial—it’s a breathtaking representation of India’s unparalleled ancient wisdom and architectural grandeur. But it’s not just about the past; this wheel symbolizes the relentless progression of time, known as Kalachakra, as well as the tireless drive of democratic ideals.

Nothing less than saving the planet by supercharging climate action and sprinting towards net-zero emissions! After this eye-opening session, delegates paused only to refuel at a sumptuous lunch, prepping for what came next.
The Heart of the Summit: “One Family”
As the clock struck 3 pm, the scene shifted to the equally vital “One Family” session. This wasn’t just another meeting; it was the nucleus of the summit’s multifaceted discussions, concluding the day with a majestic dinner hosted by none other than President Droupadi Murmu. From foreign delegates and parliamentarians to present Cabinet ministers and past national stalwarts, it was an assembly of unprecedented importance.
The Cosmic Vision: One Earth, One Family, One Future
Guided by the celestial theme “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” or “One Earth · One Family · One Future,” this year’s G20 Summit transcended political and geographical boundaries. It offered a holistic viewpoint culled from the ancient Sanskrit text of the Maha Upanishad, emphasizing the interconnectivity of all life forms, not just on Earth but within the broader universe. Truly, this is a G20 Summit like no other!
