The month of October is marked with the most important celebration for the Indian communities from all over the globe as it is the time to rejoice in the triumph over evil, knowledge over ignorance and hope over despair.
Celebrants will decorate the homes with kolam, a form of artwork that is created using coloured rice powder to bring prosperity to the households. To add to the festive cheer, One World Hotel embraces the essence of the tradition and greets guests with a majestic kolam at the lobby of the hotel.
In line with the coffee house, Cinnamon’s promotion ‘A Maharajah Feast’, highlighting Mughlai cuisine for the entire month, elephant is the theme for the kolam as the maharajahs travelled with elephants during the ancient times.
This kolam measuring at 20 feet in diameter is an effort made possible by the Public Relations department together with volunteers from various departments. 11 colours weighing hundreds of kilograms of rice powder and 11 hours were invested in order to complete this stunning piece of art.
