I am Sister Ruth Antoinette, from Bangalore, Karnataka, I'm as the eldest of four siblings. From a young age, I felt a quiet yet deep call to religious life. With my family's support, I entered formation in Mysore in 2001 and made my first profession on December 27, 2008.

After completing degrees in Journalism and Education, I served for nearly nine years in rural Andhra Pradesh, ministering to both the educational and spiritual needs of the community. Currently, I serve as an English Lecturer at Vidya Jyothi College, where I guide young minds in faith and learning.

Beyond my mission, I enjoy photography and photo editing, which help me reflect on the beauty of God’s creation. My journey continues to be one of faith, service, and creative joy—grateful always for the grace that sustains me.

Mysuru Dasara festival is known as Naada Habba, the festival of the people and the festival of the State. A festival that elaborates the joy of the people through various and mesmerizing celebrations, a celebration of 10 days, and a symphony of tradition and culture of 400 years.

It captures every single person and attracts every single soul. During this festival, Mysuru is transformed into a living canvas as a thousand lights flicker. A golden chariot moves gloriously along the streets of Mysuru.

The festival captures every single moment of the day, and it is a retreat for the soul, converted into paradise.

In every flicker of the light, in every beat of the drum, a story waits to be told.
