The article examines the role of religious and cultural communities in India in fostering resilience and ensuring dignified aging. It analyzes how collective practices—from group physical activity and ritual movements to shared dietary norms and spiritual beliefs—create an integrated support system that promotes the physical, psychological, and social well-being of older adults. Particular attention is paid to the functions of the community as a mutual aid network and its role in providing palliative care and dignity at the end of life.
