Ceremonial Rituals

    It is believed that lighting lamps brings peace, happiness, and prosperity. Our evening ceremonial ritual begins with the lighting of diyas by the graceful ladies beautifully draped in Karnataka’s traditional attire. This glorious spectacle takes place in our lobby in front of “The Devi”, by the grand staircase. Our musical experts serenade onlookers with a harmonious Carnatic music performance.

    Guests are invited to partake of this ceremony as the day transitions to night and our Palace lights up with the warm glow of the traditional diyas and the lilting notes of the santoor and tabla or a powerful and energetic Yakshagana performance fill the air. Either way,  it’s a spectacle to delight and behold!

    Evening Aarti

    Picture this: a ceremonial ritual performed in all its glory by four ladies draped in traditional attire. A warm glow of light coming from all the lit diyas, right in front of the grand staircase where the ‘Murti’ of ‘The Devi’ is glistening at the Palace’s lobby. Sounds magical right? 

    With the day transitioning from day to night, and the soulful Carnatic music playing in the background, guests can breathe in the faint fragrance of santoor and take in the Yakshagana perform right before their eyes. A sight to behold!
