Backstory

One magical Christmas, Santa decided to swap his sleigh for something more local — a gleaming, light-strewn auto-rickshaw. With golden stars on the roof and a jolly horn in place of reindeer bells, he set off through Kerala’s spice-scented markets, coconut groves, and winding village lanes.

Wearing a crisp white mundu beneath his red coat, Santa honked cheerfully as he delivered joy to every corner. Children ran to greet him, eyes wide with wonder, as he handed out gifts wrapped in colors inspired by Kerala’s lush landscape.

The air was filled with laughter, music, and the unmistakable sound of celebration. And just like that, Christmas found a new route — one full of light, warmth, and cultural delight.

Santa in an Auto is a heartfelt tribute to this imagined moment — where tradition meets imagination, and the spirit of the season rides through India with a local smile.
