Rohini Nilekani Advocates for National Mental Health Festivals in India

Imagine India has music festivals where people dance and listen to bands.

Now, there are also special festivals focused on feeling good and being healthy, called wellness festivals.

One important one is about 'mental health,' which is how our minds feel.

It's called Manotsava and happens in a city called Bengaluru.

People like Rohini Nilekani and doctors from a place called NIMHANS started it.

They want to show that it's okay to not feel okay sometimes and that everyone is on a journey.

These festivals help people talk openly about their feelings and learn that it's fine to ask for help.

They also help smart scientists explain tricky ideas about our brains in ways that everyone can understand.

The goal is to make people feel less alone and more comfortable talking about their minds.
