New Delhi, November 2025: Crowne Plaza New Delhi Mayur Vihar Noida, in collaboration with Holiday Inn Jaipur City Centre, is set to present Rangeelo Rajasthan: Thaat, Maat aur Rasoi — a ten-day celebration of Rajasthan’s royal kitchens and rustic traditions. Hosted at Infinity from 7th to 16th November 2025, the festival will bring alive the contrast and harmony of Mewar and Marwar, showcasing how geography, heritage, and spice shape the culinary identity of India’s desert state.

At its heart, the festival explores the idea of Thaat — the regal grandeur of Mewar’s palace kitchens — meeting Maat, the earthy resilience of Marwar’s desert hearths, converging into one Rasoi that embodies the diversity of Rajasthan. A cyclic menu of over 50 handcrafted delicacies will celebrate the state’s many flavours, traditions, and tales.

From the lush lands and shimmering lakes of Mewar will emerge dishes that echo royal opulence — Mewari Safed Maas, Lapsi, Dal Bafla, Mewari Kadhi, Gatte ki Sabji, and Badam Halwa — each reflecting the generosity born of abundance, rich in ghee, milk, and dry fruits. In striking contrast, the rugged terrains of Marwar will tell a story of resilience and spice through Dal Baati Choorma, Ker Sangri, Jungli Maas, Lehsun Tikka, Panchmel Dal, and Bajre ki Roti — bold, earthy, and deeply soulful, a cuisine shaped by the ingenuity of desert life. Adding further colour will be regional favourites such as Jaipuri Pyaz Kachori, Jodhpuri Mirchi Vada, Bajra Raab, Mawa Kachori, Ghevar, and Moong Dal Halwa — each narrating the story of the land it belongs to, together creating a tapestry of Rajasthan’s regal and rustic flavours.

Chef Roushan Sharma, Executive Chef – Crowne Plaza New Delhi Mayur Vihar Noida, said, “Rajasthan’s cuisine represents the perfect balance of artistry and resilience. Having worked across the state, I’ve seen how local ingredients and seasonal constraints have shaped dishes into culinary masterpieces. Thaat, Maat aur Rasoi celebrates that evolution — bringing regional authenticity to modern urban dining.”

Chef Hem Singh Gurjar, Holiday Inn Jaipur City Centre, added, “Every region of Rajasthan tells its story through its food. From the delicately spiced gravies of Mewar to the fiery, rustic notes of Marwar, each recipe carries the soul of its land. For us, this festival is about preserving those heirloom techniques — the slow cooking, the balance of spice, and the pride of creating flavours that feel like home.”

Pankaj Gupta, Area General Manager – IHG Hotels Southwest Asia & General Manager – Crowne Plaza New Delhi Mayur Vihar Noida, shared, “Through festivals like Rangeelo Rajasthan, we aim to bring regional legacies to a global stage — not just as food, but as cultural stories told through every aroma and texture. This collaboration with Holiday Inn Jaipur City Centre reflects IHG’s commitment to offering guests experiences that are immersive, memorable, and rooted in India’s living traditions.”

Puneet Sharma, General Manager, Holiday Inn Jaipur City Centre shared, “Rajasthan’s cuisine is as much about emotion as it is about flavour. Through this collaboration, we’re proud to share Jaipur’s vibrant culinary heritage with a wider audience — one that celebrates tradition while embracing discovery.”

During the festival, Infinity will be transformed into an immersive Rajasthani courtyard, where traditional ‘jharokhas’, vibrant textiles, and earthen décor will frame the experience. The air will resonate with the sounds of live folk music and puppet performances, as aromas of slow-cooked gravies mingle with the rhythm of desert melodies — creating a setting that feels both festive and timeless.
