2023 Desi Planner

THE PLANNER

The 2023 Desi Planner has major holidays from all South Asian countries, including national, cultural and religious holidays. Each month features a recipe, craft project or prompt by a South Asian woman.

This year, the Planner also features Women's History Month, LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Mental Health Awareness Month, National Disability Awareness Month and more! While the Planner already had Black History Month and AAPI Heritage Month, we added even more inclusivity in the 2023 Planner. 

Each month also has a page dedicated to your goals for that month, including self care thoughts, important dates and gratitude for that month. 

THE COVER ART

The inspiration for the cover art was the brainchild of Aastha and Raj, who are both fans of South Asian textiles. In addition to food, textiles are a cornerstone of South Asia and its various subcultures. The colors, the intricate designs, the regional influences and the craftsmanship create the core of South Asian textiles. 

The cover art for the 2023 Desi Planner and stationary is designed by Raj Thandi, owner of Pink Chai Media and the creative mind behind the Pink Chai blog.
