Chandana and Sunil, parents to a cute 5-month-old girl Payana C S, are on a mission to create a very special photo shoot involving their daughter. There is a chance that after knowing about their intentions you will end up saying “how adorable” and that too repeatedly. They want to create a series of pictures of their daughter dressed in traditional attire from 28 states and eight union territories of India.
They have already shared the first four images of the series on their joint Instagram page called travelories. They are sharing the images under the hashtag #Dekhoapnadesh.
“Dekhoapnadesh Our Daughter is Himachali today. We are celebrating her every month by dressing her up in the traditional dresses of Indian States,” they wrote and shared this sweet image:

Talking about that, the toddler’s father shared that they were happy to see her pictures being shared and hope that she will feel the same when she grows up.
“We feel happy and we wish these images inspire people to travel and promote our rich Indian heritage and culture of India,” her parents told HT. They added that they are also looking forward to suggestions from people about the dresses of different states.
