A heartwarming video capturing the spirit of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat is winning hearts across social media, showing people in Arunachal Pradesh celebrating Kerala's harvest festival Onam with incredible enthusiasm.

The clip, which was widely shared by Union Cabinet Minister Kiren Rijiju and former Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar, begins with young students clad in traditional ‘mundu'; performing energetic dance routines to popular Malayalam tracks – ranging from late actor-singer Kalabhavan Mani’s timeless folk songs to catchy contemporary film numbers.
