Chotu aka motu

As the Hopeful Street Ambassador, Chotu approaches every day with relentless optimism and an unwavering belief in unity. His persona drives him to forge connections, mediate between quarrelling street dogs, and act as a bridge between the bustling world of Delhi and the peaceful spirit of the temple. Highly extroverted and exceptionally agreeable, Chotu greets every pup with warmth and readily puts others’ needs ahead of his own. He’s moderately conscientious—organized in missions but often distracted by spontaneous needs, low in neuroticism with a steady calm, and high in openness, eagerly embracing new friends and adventures.

In the lively heart of Delhi, Mandir Gali Crossroads serves as the bustling meeting point of hidden alleys, vibrant bazaars, and the grand temple steps. The air shimmers with festival lanterns, fragrant incense, and echoing laughter, creating a lively yet unpredictable backdrop where Chotu’s adventure begins.

Mandir Gali Crossroads

Chotu’s first task is to find and gently guide scattered, lost, or wary street pups toward the promise of companionship and safety. He must explore the winding alleys, bustling markets, and hidden nooks of Delhi to earn their trust, demonstrating compassion and sharing stories of the temple’s peace. Building these relationships is not always easy; some pups are frightened, others mischievous, but Chotu’s kindness and steady optimism help to win them over. Through this, he begins to create small sparks of hope in those who had given up on finding a place to belong.

The city’s peace suffers not just from loneliness, but also from the rivalries and disputes among different groups of street dogs. Chotu must step up as a mediator, navigating tensions and misunderstandings while fostering communication and fair play. By finding creative ways to unite the packs—perhaps through games, shared meals, or joint festival rituals—he helps them recognize their common dreams and strengths. This milestone challenges Chotu to use diplomacy and teamwork, testing his resolve and belief in unity.

With newfound friendships and peace restored among the street dogs, Chotu’s final challenge is to guide everyone to the temple for a vibrant, communal evening prayer during the city’s grandest festival. This climactic milestone requires Chotu to inspire and organize the diverse group, overcoming any last obstacles or doubts along the way. Only by helping everyone arrive together, united in spirit and joy, can he achieve his dream of a new festival tradition—one where every pup feels seen, heard, and cherished. In doing so, Chotu discovers his own sense of belonging and purpose at the very heart of the city.

Mandir Gali Crossroads bursts with life during festival season—a maze of lantern-lit alleys, festive bazaar stalls, and fragrant food carts all converging near an ornate old temple. Here, vibrant colors, lively music, and playful chaos fill the air, while hidden nooks and cozy shadows provide shelter for wary pups. Beneath strings of marigold garlands and glowing lanterns, the crossroads becomes both a place of celebration and a haven for lost wanderers on their journey to belonging.

In this quest, Chotu explores the vibrant lanes of Mandir Gali Crossroads during festival time, searching for a shy pup who’s become lost in the crowd. The objective is to approach with compassion, using soothing words and heartfelt stories to show kindness. Obstacles arise in the form of loud music, bustling crowds, and the pup’s fearfulness, making patience and empathy essential. Success means the scared pup emerges from its hiding spot, trusting Chotu and joining the mission to gather others. Failure keeps the pup isolated, deepening its mistrust and delaying Chotu’s efforts to unite the community. Throughout, Chotu's optimism and warmth are tested against the city's unpredictability.

The Bazaar Shadow

Chotu must bond with a trio of spirited pups by playing a friendly game of 'Two Truths and a Lie.' The challenge is to listen carefully as each pup shares stories—some real, some invented—about life on the streets, secret hideouts, and hidden treasures. The objective is to gently uncover the truth and show genuine interest, demonstrating that Chotu values and understands their experiences. If Chotu can identify their lies and win their trust, the mischievous pups agree to follow him to the promise of a new home. Failing means the pups remain distrustful, hiding behind jokes and eluding the journey of companionship. The stakes center on transforming playful rivalry into heartfelt alliance, turning city mischief into shared dreams.

The Fruit Cart Tricksters

Lantern Bridge Courtyard is a vibrant, open plaza at the heart of Mandir Gali, where decorated lanterns dangle above an old stone bridge and colorful food stalls cluster alongside a bustling, festival-lit canal. Here, the melodic bustle of city life merges with pockets of green, and festival lights twinkle on the water, setting the perfect stage for community gatherings and playful contests. The lively space invites both packs and pups to meet, negotiate, and celebrate in the spirit of unity.

The bustling festival in Mandir Gali spills over with food, laughter, and a brewing feud. The Market Runners, swift and wily, clash with the bold Temple Paws as both packs argue over leftover treats. My challenge is to gather both sides, calm their tempers, and host a riddle contest inspired by the teachings of the temple. Through three clever riddles, I must encourage each pup to think not just of winning, but of sharing and finding common ground. If I succeed, unity blossoms—a feast enjoyed together, sealing new bonds. Should I fail, rivalry grows stronger, and peace becomes a distant hope. This quest tests my wit and my ability to turn playful competition into lasting friendship.

The Festival Feast Riddle

As the sun sets over Mandir Gali Crossroads, excitement over the evening relay is dampened by the lingering squabbles between two dog packs. I propose a challenge: both packs must answer twenty revealing questions about each other’s hopes, dreams, and hidden talents before racing together. The questions help uncover unexpected similarities and shared festival wishes, nudging everyone away from mistrust. Should we build enough understanding, the pups join forces and represent the street dogs in a festival relay, cheered by all of Delhi. If we fail, suspicion and grumbling persist, and the chance for community spirit is lost. This quest is as much about listening as it is about racing, with the fate of the relay—and our unity—on the line.

Race for Unity

Perched above the busy festival streets, Lantern Haven Terrace is a secluded rooftop haven bathed in the golden glow of paper lanterns. Shielded from the chaos below by potted greenery and trailing garlands, the terrace provides a peaceful yet festive stage for Chotu’s quest to unite every street pup beneath the city’s brightest lights. As festival music drifts up from Mandir Gali, this tranquil spot becomes the heart of hope, decision, and belonging.

On the festival’s grandest night, Chotu faces his final test: uniting every stray for the temple’s communal prayer beneath the lantern-lit sky. As Chotu gathers the pups in Mandir Gali Crossroads, doubts from alliances past and hidden fears bubble up, threatening to unravel their fragile unity. Through interactive choices, Chotu must recall shared adventures, highlight every pup’s strengths, and gently mediate lingering disputes. The path branches with each decision—some choices inspire courage and unity, others stoke uncertainty or cause pups to drift away. Success sees Chotu leading the entire group, tails high, into the temple as a shining example of community. Failure means some pups turn away or lose faith, leaving Chotu to grapple with bittersweet lessons about leadership and hope.

The Lantern of Belonging

As the prayer hour nears, mysterious riddles appear in the alleyways and courtyards of Mandir Gali, each a reflection of a companion’s inner doubts or memories. Chotu must decipher three meaningful riddles—one about courage, one about forgiveness, and one about belonging—each penned by a hidden paw. Solving each riddle not only uncovers the pup linked to it but also helps heal old wounds and encourages shy friends to step forward. Each failure to solve means a pup remains hidden or unconvinced, risking a fractured group and a weakened spirit for the festival prayer. Success draws everyone together at the temple gates, united by understanding and renewed trust. This final challenge tests Chotu's wisdom, empathy, and the deep bonds forged across his journey.

Riddles of Reunion

Chotu dons a tiny, soft cotton kurta in a gentle saffron hue, perfectly tailored to his round, chubby frame and falling just above his stubby tail. The kurta is paired with crisp, white pajama bottoms—slightly oversized at the cuffs for a loose, playful fit—secured by a festive red cloth belt and delicately embroidered at the edges in gold thread. A small bead necklace gifted by the temple monk rests around his neck, and a splash of marigold petals caught in his fur pays tribute to Delhi’s vibrant festival nights, while his outfit remains clean and lovingly mended from his many adventures.

Festival Evening Kurta-Pajama

Chotu is snug in a sunshine-yellow, hooded raincoat crafted from lightweight, waterproof fabric, with playful white paw-print patterns running along the hem and neatly fastened by big coconut buttons down the front. His oversized ears poke out from cleverly tailored flaps, while a sky-blue canvas satchel slings across his side to carry snacks and tiny festival finds. Completing the look are sturdy, soft rubber booties in red to keep his paws dry, and a little woven charm featuring temple bells tied to his tail, jingling as he navigates rain-drenched city lanes.

Monsoon Sidekick Raincoat

Chotu dons a comfortable, sleeveless olive-green cotton vest with deep patch pockets, the edges trimmed in vibrant orange piping for a dash of Delhi flair. Around his neck hangs a small fabric pouch patterned with traditional block prints, perfect for gathering mango treats or notes from fellow pups, and a woven friendship bracelet adorns one forepaw. His look is finished with a bright, patterned bandana tied playfully over one ear and a cluster of jasmine flowers tucked behind the other, echoing the scents and energy of a bustling bazaar adventure.

Bazaar Scout Day Vest

Chotu was born in a hidden alley near one of Delhi’s oldest temples and was tended to by a caring monk. Inspired by stories of pilgrimage and unity told at the temple, he grew up longing to create his own tradition of togetherness for the street dogs often overlooked by the busy world. When the festival season filled the streets with color and crowds, Chotu donned his monk-gifted kurta-pajama and took it upon himself to guide lost or lonely pups toward the temples for evening prayers. Along his journey, he discovered the power of friendship and selfless courage. Through his perseverance, Chotu aims not just to help others but to find his own place in the vibrant tapestry of city life.
