Advaitha – A symphony

We are the parents, family members, and friends of Advaitha, a bright young soul whose life was tragically cut short in the turbulent waters of Pawna Lake near Pune.

While this pain is deeply personal, it speaks to a larger population who suffer each day. Someone, somewhere loses their lives to drowning. These incidents are often brushed off as routine, occupying a small corner in newspapers. But for those who have lost a child, sibling, or friend, it is not just an incident—it is a lifetime pain and a deep scar. We feel some of these can be prevented by creating awareness.
