Firstpost goes full throttle with special edition on Operation Sindoor
MUMBAI – In a gutsy move both on ground and in print, Firstpost has dropped a collector’s edition digital broadsheet dedicated to Operation Sindoor—India’s audacious counter-terror strike that sent shockwaves across the region and rewrote the rules of military engagement.
This slick, oversized digital spread dives headfirst into the mission that rattled Rawalpindi and reasserted New Delhi’s zero-tolerance stance on state-sponsored terror. From boots-on-the-ground bravery to geopolitical chess, the edition lays out the anatomy of the operation with forensic flair—packed with verified reports, exclusive interviews, and sharp strategic analysis.
The shadow of Pakistan army chief-turned-field marshal Asim Munir looms large, as the edition probes the ideological flashpoints fuelling cross-border aggression and the Indian response that followed. No propaganda, just precision reporting.
“While the magnitude of Operation Sindoor, and what it has achieved, is a compelling enough reason for Firstpost to bring out this special edition, the need to present facts amidst a flood of disinformation was a trigger too,” says Firstpost managing editor Palki Sharma.
This isn’t just a recap of a military win—it’s a reframing of the global counter-terror playbook, with India leading the charge. Readers can scan the QR code to get their hands on this digital deep-dive—a timely tribute to grit, guts, and a nation drawing a red line no enemy dares cross.

Mangaldeep partners with Vrindavan Vibes at ISKCON Vrindavan event
Fragrance brand backs youth led kirtan gathering that drew 4000 plus devotees.
MUMBAI: If devotion had a soundtrack, Vrindavan recently turned the volume up. Mangaldeep Incense has partnered with Vrindavan Vibes at ISKCON Vrindavan, an emerging devotional gathering that blends traditional kirtans with a youthful, community driven atmosphere. The first day of the celebrations alone drew more than 4000 devotees, signalling the growing appeal of participatory spiritual events among younger audiences.
More than a festive collaboration, the association reflects a broader cultural shift in how spirituality is being experienced today. Vrindavan Vibes Jamming, described as a kirtan utsav, brings together youth, families and devotees for collective singing within a sacred temple setting, turning devotion into a shared, immersive experience.
For Mangaldeep, the partnership positions the brand as a long term enabler of community led devotion. Vrindavan, long regarded as the spiritual home of Lord Krishna, remains a vibrant centre for bhajans, temple gatherings and devotional music that attracts pilgrims and visitors from across the country.
As part of the collaboration, Mangaldeep has introduced a fragrance led experience within the venue. This includes ambient fragrance pillars designed to enhance the devotional ambience, a curated Khusbhoo Path experience, a selfie booth for visitors to capture shared memories, and specially designed souvenirs for devotees attending the event.
Mangaldeep divisional CEO of the matches and agarbatti division Rohit Dogra said the initiative reflects the changing ways in which faith is being expressed.
“At Mangaldeep, devotion has always been at the heart of everything we do. Today we are witnessing a beautiful shift in how spirituality is expressed, particularly among young India where bhajans and kirtans are becoming vibrant collective experiences of faith and belonging. Our partnership with ISKCON Vrindavan for Vrindavan Vibes reflects this evolution,” he said.
Bhajan and kirtan gatherings are increasingly emerging as spaces for emotional connection and cultural identity, especially for younger audiences looking for a sense of grounding in an otherwise fast paced world. Participants at the event described the gathering as a moment of calm and shared joy, as chants and music brought thousands together in a collective expression of faith.
By aligning with Vrindavan Vibes, Mangaldeep is positioning itself not just as an incense brand, but as a facilitator of shared spiritual experiences, extending its presence from homes and temples to large scale community led devotional platforms.
