During the COVID-19 pandemic, Indian mothers, a vulnerable group have not received adequate attention with respect to their challenges and mothering experiences. This study utilizes a feminist theoretical framework to explore the lived experiences of a cohort of urban Indian mothers of children aged 10 years and below in the context of COVID-19. Through the qualitative research method of in-depth unstructured interviews, the study identified the following overarching themes: Challenges in mothering, Inequality of gender norms, Support and Self-compassion, Self-care and Gratitude in the context of lived experiences of mothering during the pandemic in India. The findings bolster the need to create systemic changes for enforcing stronger policies around gender equality and to recognize unpaid care and domestic work as well as build a more equitable society for women. These results also have a bearing on investigations into the long-term effects of COVID-19 on maternal mental health.
