Work 22 of 25
Everyday Salute to Women
About the work
Beginning on International Women’s Day, 8 March 2023, Dr. Darla Nageswara Rao has offered daily bilingual (Telugu and English) wishes and salutations honouring women—their achievements, greatness, patience, and responsibilities—on Facebook (including Bhakti Margam) and WhatsApp status.
Record certificates document completed year-long cycles (8 March 2023–8 March 2024; 8 March 2024–8 March 2025). The practice continues beyond those certified years. Messages include respect for mother, wife, sister, daughter, and every woman, with the verse “Yatra naryastu pujyante ramante tatra devata.”
