My Village Shikha

Gathering the forest…

An animated series in development

My Village
Shikha

A forest full of stories.

Maya, Mukunda and Pintu follow rhythms, patterns and little surprises through a forest where every connection matters.

Wonder begins when we listen.

01 / The world

The forest has
something to say.

A remembered song. A quiet spring. A path almost forgotten.

In this world, a mystery begins with noticing. The children listen to the forest and to the people who remember it, learning how stories, places and living things belong together.

Bhumi offers small, playful signs along the way. The Forest Spirit is the greater benevolent presence in this world; Bhumi guides the children toward discoveries they must make for themselves.

02 / Meet the characters

Different eyes.
One shared adventure.

Curiosity, memory, rhythm and instinct.
Everyone notices something different.

01Maya, a cardboard character in maroon clothing holding a journal

Observation & memory

Maya

Thoughtful and observant, Maya connects the clues. Her Spiral Journal gathers songs, stories and drawings, helping her notice patterns as she learns.

02Mukunda, a cardboard character carrying his madal

Curiosity & rhythm

Mukunda

Energetic and first toward a mystery, Mukunda brings action and curiosity. The rhythms of his madal teach him to slow down and listen.

03Pintu, a cheerful cardboard animal companion

Instinct & a little mischief

Pintu

Pintu senses changes before the others do. This funny animal companion follows instinct, finding clues and bringing comedy without a single spoken explanation.

04Aama, the cardboard keeper of stories and memories

Stories & remembered songs

Aama

Aama keeps stories, old songs, place names and memories. She helps the children understand forgotten histories, leaving room for them to find their own way.

05Bhumi, the compassionate mystical guide, made in cardboard

Wonder & gentle guidance

Bhumi

Playful, mysterious and compassionate, Bhumi is already part of the forest. Small signs help the children listen and discover, rather than handing them a solution.

03 / The spiral

A small symbol.
A whole connection.

Draw your connection to the forest.

Draw one continuous spiral with your finger or mouse. Curl around twice, following the faint guide. You can begin at the center or work your way inward.

A complete spiral means connection and balance. When it is interrupted, a relationship needs care.

The forest is listening. Draw a spiral on the paper.

Draw with a keyboard

Focus the paper. Press Enter or Space to begin, use the arrow keys to draw, then Enter or Space to finish. Hold Shift for finer steps. Escape clears the page.

The forest has fallen quiet.
What is it waiting for them to hear?

Aama begins with a lesson in respectful acknowledgment and listening. When the children notice an interrupted spiral, they follow small signs from Bhumi and discover the history of a forgotten place.

By learning to care for it, they find their way back to a complete rhythm—and Maya’s first journal page.
