Tata Tea Agni Leaf’s unique Chhath festive campaign honors Bihar and Jharkhand culture
Mumbai: In an enthralling homage to the vibrant culture of Bihar and Jharkhand, Tata Tea Agni Leaf, one of the leading tea brands introduces special festive packs and a special musical video celebrating the festivities.
The four-pack collection captures the customs and emotions unique to each day. Each day of the festival is depicted in a different style of Madhubani Art, the cherished artform of the Bihar.
The first pack, designed in the Godhna Style of Madhubani, uses black ink to depict the ‘Nahaay Khaay,’ the first day of the festival. The second pack illustrates the second day of ‘Kharna’, showcasing the preparation of the traditional prasad in the Kachni style of Madhubani, using monochrome shades. The third pack, dedicated to ‘Sandhya Arghya,’ captures the festive spirit as people gather at the ghats to offer Arghya to the setting sun in the Kohbar style of Madhubani. The fourth pack, curated in the Bharni style of Madhubani, portrays the final day of the festival- ‘Usha Arghya’ where devotees offer prayers and Arghya to the rising sun as they conclude their sacred fast.
To add more flavour to the Chhath festivities, Tata Tea Agni Leaf has also launched a music video- ‘Aava Mil Ke Chhath Manayi’. The specially created song brings alive the spirit of the festivities where families and loved ones across generations come together, perform rituals and customs associated with each day of Chhath with joy and reverence- a true celebration of their cultural heritage. The visual narrative is supported beautifully by a melodious song which invokes powerful symbols of the festivities like ‘kharna ki kheer’, ‘thekua’, ‘daura’, ‘arghya’ among others which tug at the heartstrings of all who continue to celebrate the great festival of Chhath.
Tata Consumer Products president of packaged beverages Puneet Das said, “ Chhath occupies a special place in the hearts of people in Bihar and Jharkhand. It is not only a festival but an emotion that people cherish and take pride in. This is why Tata Tea Agni has launched a special Chhath four-pack collection paying ode to the rich cultural heritage by diving deep into the world-renowned Madhubani artform and showcasing each day of the festival in a different style of Madhubani. The music video ‘Aava Mil Ke Chhath Manayi’ is created specially to capture the heart of the festivities- of families coming together and continuing to celebrate their inherited legacy with love and joy. This campaign proudly celebrates the spirit of togetherness and festivities, over a cup of tea!’’
Media Monks the Chief Creative Officer Azazul Haque said, ‘’ This campaign takes Hyper Local to the next level. Also choosing Chhath which is the biggest festival for the region, the idea was to connect with the people as one of them. The theme did just that. Chhath is a Festival of four days and not just one is a fact only someone from Bihar & Jharkhand knows and showcasing that on four packs is an idea that will connect with every person who celebrates this festival. For the video content, we wanted to convey the same and a festive music video conveying this message looked like the best idea. Also the idea is to give the people a new song as Chhath songs are a huge hit amongst the people who celebrate it.’’
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
