What's the Story?

DEEPA & ANOOP shares the story of kindhearted Deepa as she sometimes causes mischief, but is often helpful, at her parents' bed-and-breakfast, Mango Manor. The building is often bustling with guests and animal friends, and Deepa is always looking to help in any way she can. She is always joined by her beloved color-changing elephant friend, Anoop. From babysitting duties to event planning, Deepa constantly has a creative idea to help the day flow smoothly at the business. Her Mama, Baba, and grandparents are often surprised and entertained by her adventures, even if they do cause a little bit of chaos. She is never without a smile on her face and has a song for every occasion.
