The mother embraces her children

My journey commenced,

In my ancestral home.

Loving families with multiple cradles,

Of the civilization of my nation.

My mother embraced me with love,

I felt the soft touch of my mother?s hand.

I cried and cried,

She kissed me.

I saw the dawn of

Civilizational abode Akshardham.
