Kamat Hotels India Ltd. is celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi with a unique focus on sustainability, highlighting eco-friendly idols and upcycled decorations across its properties in Maharashtra. The initiative not only preserves the traditions of the festival but also underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship. By embracing sustainability, Kamat Hotels ensures that the joyous occasion aligns with eco-conscious values, offering guests a festive experience that respects nature and promotes responsible practices.

At Kamat Hotels India Ltd, Ganesh Chaturthi is not just a festival—it’s a commitment to preserving traditions while being mindful of the environment. This year, the celebrations are in full swing across the company’s properties in Maharashtra, featuring eco-friendly idols, upcycled decorations, and rituals that honor both spirituality and sustainability.

From The Orchid Hotels in Mumbai and Pune, IRA by Orchid Hotels in Sambhajinagar, Mumbai, and Nashik, to the majestic Fort Jadhavgadh in Pune and the peaceful Lotus Eco Beach Resort in Murud, each property is alive with festive energy, sustainable décor, and a strong sense of unity that celebrates both heritage and eco-consciousness.

At The Orchid Hotel Mumbai, the festivities come alive with the Ganpati Sthapana and traditional aartis, accompanied by the vibrant beats of dhol-tasha. The Ganesha idol, crafted entirely from natural clay, is welcomed amidst creative décor made from upcycled materials—plastic bottles, coconut shells, cardboard boxes, and even toothpicks—transformed into planters, ornaments, and art installations. Guests and staff are coming together to celebrate a festival that is both spiritually fulfilling and environmentally friendly.

In Pune, The Orchid Hotel continues its eco-friendly spirit with Ganesha idols made from shadu clay, turmeric, and paper mâché, combining traditional artistry with sustainable innovation. The hotel hosts a variety of activities, including vibrant rangolis, eco-friendly workshops, and spiritual gatherings that demonstrate how art and sustainability can coexist beautifully.

IRA by Orchid Hotel Nashik adds a unique touch with a coconut-themed décor that uses natural elements to create a festive, earthy atmosphere. Daily aartis, prasad, and community celebrations immerse guests in a sustainable yet spiritual experience.

At Lotus Eco Beach Resort Murud, the celebrations extend into nature, with ongoing tree planting drives that complement the resort’s eco-conscious mission. Guests engage in modak-making workshops, preparing traditional sweets by hand, all while celebrating in harmony with the serene coastal environment.

Fort Jadhavgadh, Pune’s only heritage fort hotel, blends regal tradition with modern creativity. Alongside traditional rituals, the property surprises guests with innovative modak flavors such as strawberry, mango, and the classic ukadiche, giving a fresh twist to this age-old delicacy. The celebrations at this royal venue offer an enriching experience for both Indian and international guests alike.

Embracing the spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi, the fort proudly upholds the values of “Atithi Devo Bhava,” sharing the joy of the festival across borders. Throughout all its properties, the dining experience has been elevated with festive menus, including specialties like IRA Mumbai’s sabudana vada, farali pattice, and puran poli, alongside live counters, thalis, and sweet-making workshops. The air is filled with the fragrance of incense, while marigold garlands, banana leaf decorations, and brass urlis adorn the lobbies and courtyards. Eco-friendly rangolis featuring Ganesha motifs greet guests at the entrances.

Khil is also ensuring that sustainability takes center stage during the festivities. Each hotel is preparing for environmentally-conscious visarjan ceremonies, where both guests and staff gather in prayerful processions to responsibly immerse natural clay idols, merging devotion with eco-awareness.
