“…Another was the thought of the place where the child has most fun and is memorable for the child. Joeg and Sriram (2019) contends that fathers are imagined to be closer to the out there because of them being pictured to be living in that rather than the home. They paint fathers in India as close to a “banyan tree” (p. 219) owing to their similarity in various roles like deep hold towards the roots, provider role, etc.…”

Conceptualization of fathers as an essential begetter survives within and through their relationship in family through ages. However, within and behind this word, a social-construct, the journey of fathers remains non-located in researches on parenting in India. Thus, this study aims to develop an indigenous conceptualization of fatherhood in the cultural realm of India from father’s and child’s perspective. Carried out in eight two-child families in Delhi, the study is done through semi-structured interviews with fathers and Draw and tell method with their elder child (7–11 years). Thematic analysis of both father’s and children’s narratives helped create seven themes within each. The themes from father’s narratives include multiple shades of “father”, ‘being a father’: a world within, learnings about ‘being a father’, father as enablers of child’s ‘becoming’, picturing ‘ideal’ fathers, cultural mountings and ‘cultures’ of fatherhood. The themes obtained from children’s narratives include father as a playtime partner, inspiring figure, mainstay, shield, involved, not-so-involved. Viewed holistically, this study holds implications for parenting practices and policy makers in positive direction.

“…Based on Figure 1, female adolescents who had positive memories related to their relationship with the father since she was a child until she was a toddler stated that the father was involved in care and was willing to provide time to play with her when she was a child. They make their father as an example for their lives, especially in finding a partner, even though their perspective was different (Joeg & Sriram, 2019). Vice versa, teenagers who had a less harmonious relationship based on the memories of his childhood, stated that her father was less involved in caring for her as a child, this was because her father was busy at work so he have no time to play/joke with the family became minimal.…”
