A timeless folktale from Gujarat, told by the Bhil people, one of India’s oldest indigenous communities.

This is the story of a river that vanished when people forgot to care for it, and of a young girl named Chandri who believed the river could return. With patience, courage, and love for the earth, she discovered how nature responds when we give it respect. 🌊🌿

A gentle yet powerful story that reminds us: when we take care of nature, nature takes care of us.

This episode is perfect for bedtime, quiet time, or long car rides. If you’re looking for thoughtful, slow-paced stories for kids, meaningful children’s stories rooted in Indian tradition, or folk tales that nurture love for the environment, this one’s for you.
