Multiple generations often share one roof, fostering deep emotional bonds and built-in support.
Modern are mashups. You will see a girl in ripped jeans tying a Mangalsutra (sacred necklace) under a hoodie. You will see a boy with a man bun touching his grandfather’s feet for blessings. The culture isn't breaking; it's bending.
