Led by Neil Khopkar, the walk explored the layered social and cultural history of Dadar through the foods that anchor everyday life in the locale.

In Bhubaneswar, the walk explored the Old Town, where temple traditions, seasonal rhythms, and centuries-old food practices shape what people eat every day.
