Papyrus Orchid chose the theme of An Indian Year for 2026. It captures India not in words, but in art: twelve hand-illustrated destinations, each chosen for beauty, for culture, for the unmistakable sense of place. Month after month, it reminds you where you come from, and how much there is yet to see. It sits on your desk like a quiet invitation to pause, to notice, to dream. Not loud. Not clever. Just unforgettable.
 
This is not another calendar of monuments.
It is a calendar of living India.
Not domes and towers standing still, but mornings in Puducherry, a metro ride through Delhi, or the festivities in Kolkata. 

The everyday, the intimate, the honest.
A day in the life, twelve times over.
While others show you heritage, An Indian Year shows you the people who live it.

If you love India, you won’t just use this calendar. You’ll keep it.
