Ceremonial Rituals - The Leela Mumbai

Ceremonial Rituals

    Welcoming guests since 1986, The Leela Mumbai is the inaugural Leela hotel and a true jewel in our crown. Every evening, we pay tribute to our founder Late Capt. C. P. Krishnan Nair’s roots in Kerala with a glorious ritual revolving around the grand, ceremonial Kerala lamp.

    Ceremonial Rituals

    The traditional bronze oil lamp, nilavilakku, symbolises abundance and prosperity. The grand nilavilakku is lit every evening at sunset in the hotel lobby.  The lamp burns from the first fall of dusk until 8 pm each night, with its flame facing the grand entrance, dispelling darkness, and bringing happiness and good fortune into the hotel and to our guests.

    We welcome guests to join us and witness this ceremonial ritual. To know more, please call on +91 9619886897 or email us at concierge.tlm@theleela.com.
