In India, festivals are more than just events on a calendar—they are beautiful narratives of togetherness. Every lamp on Diwali, every colour on Holi, and every wedding ceremony represent emotions that transcend tradition, become our shared history, and are subsequently narrated for years, often at family gatherings.
And today, where families live in different cities and lifestyles are busy, these moments seem even more valuable. Praveg is just one of the places to create a venue where tradition, happiness, and hospitality come together effortlessly and, most importantly, timelessly. For Praveg, it's not just hosting an event, it's transforming emotions into experiences.
Festivals: More Than a Date on a Calendar
Did you know that every year India celebrates over 70 major festivals? This doesn’t even touch on regional festivals unique to villages and communities, which may have several festivals of their own. From the lights of Diwali, to the colours of Holi, to harvest celebrations such as Pongal, to spiritual holidays like Eid and Christmas, there is a festival for every kind of celebration.
At Praveg, we view festivals as living celebrations and not just traditions. Here’s how:
- Diwali at Praveg – not a formal diyas on the lawn and rangoli on the ground, plus a menu around delicious festivities, as a celebration that bridges nostalgia with gourmet.
- Holi gatherings – not just throwing of colours, but music, gujiya, and song, and safe, sustainable celebrations.
- Christmas and New Year’s – spaces transform into inclusive and welcoming venues with music, lights, and the feel of festive celebrations around the world.
In every celebration we create, we strive to create a meaningful occasion that respects traditions, while allowing the guests to appreciate their moments personally.
Weddings: Where Stories Are Created
In India, we call weddings “once-in-a-lifetime festivals” and for good reason. The Indian wedding industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry, worth approximately ₹3.7 lakh crore (USD 45 billion), and families take months and months of development to create each and every detail.
For us at Praveg, weddings are much more than simply events. Weddings, in our mind, are love stories told through space, décor, and experiences. Some couples wish for a starlit ceremony on stunning lawns, some wish to create a regal atmosphere within halls that evoke the essence of the heritage. Regardless of what the couple has chosen, Praveg stands for its signature process: detail, warmth, and an environment in an extension of the couple and their journey.
Imagine attending a wedding where the fairy lights sway in the evening breeze, and the music alternates its flow from garden to garden, where every corner speaks about the couple's journey. That is the envisioned atmosphere we at Praveg strive to create, an environment that resonates meaning, whether it be in the largest of moments or the smallest of details.
Family & special gatherings: Multiply the fun
Not every occasion has to feature thousands of people. Sometimes, the best memories are created in small, intimate groups.
At Praveg, families commonly gather to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, or even spiritual retreats. In these smaller setups, hospitality stands out that much more. Because the personal touches, the way guests are treated, and sometimes the details, become more impactful. Guests frequently remember the manner in which staff recalled preferences, or how decor enhanced a family ritual. It is often considered that these gestures become the celebration highlight.
What adds the "Praveg Touch"
So, how is gathering at Praveg a soulful celebration? It is not just how the property is made up, but how the elements are carefully brought together:
- Lavish Ambience - Praveg spaces not only look festive, but they also let the broader lawns and surrounding greenery, architecture that reflects the local culture, and celebrate the style of the occasion.
- Fine Dining - The menus prepared by chefs draw on the heritage of the region and combine this with the flavours of the rest of the world. Picture a Diwali thali with Gujarat’s traditional Farsan on one half of the plate, as well as Mediterranean mezze on the other half of the thali, curating a true feast for one's senses.
- Personalised Service - Praveg's philosophy is 'Every Guest is Family'. Staff can anticipate needs, augment warmth in service, and ensure every guest feels loved throughout their stay from first arrival to goodbye.
- Contextual Soul - With so many festivals being around heritage, Praveg brings this to what it shares with guests through décor, art, and experiences such as traditional folk music during Navratri or local artisan-curated festive décor.
Why This Matters More Today
Research reveals that the experience of shared celebrations is approximately 2.5 times stronger in generating a sense of belonging than the experience of a solo one. In an era when a significant proportion of our social contact is via digital screens, physical gatherings of weddings, festivals, and family gatherings have become the focal points of relationships.
Hospitality in such moments is more than “service”—it’s about ensuring guests don’t just attend celebrations but actually feel the joy of them. And that’s where Praveg distinguishes itself—by magnifying the emotional richness of each event.
Celebrations Without Borders
It is interesting to note that Indian festivals are no longer confined to Indian soil. With the Indian diaspora now spread right across the continents:
- Diwali is celebrated publicly in the likes of the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia.
- Holi is now a huge festival of colours in countries across Europe and America.
- Indian weddings are still grandly celebrated abroad, at international resorts usually, but still fully Indian.
Praveg recognizes this universality of celebrations in keeping with its philosophy of Indian hospitality, as joy is a language spoken across international borders.
The Praveg Promise
For Praveg, it is all about telling stories through every festival, wedding, and gathering experience. When guests walk into a Praveg celebration, they are not entering a mere event; they are entering an experience that has been professionally curated to feel personal, cultural, welcoming, and timeless.
Meaningful moments at Praveg would seek to become the ones you would reminisce about many years later - "remember that lawn, Diwali?" or "remember how bright that Holi was?" These are not just phrases we throw around; they are meaningful emotional anchors.
Final Thought
Festivals will continue to grow and evolve—mixing old traditions with new nuances. However, their heart will always remain the same: togetherness, love, and joy.
Praveg is fortunate to play a simple, but special, role — providing spaces and hospitality where moments like this can be created. Spaces that are so special that festivals feel brighter, weddings feel more personal, anniversaries feel warmer, and family reunions feel like homecomings.
Because ultimately, Praveg stands for one thing:
Your Festival. Your Celebration. Our Hospitality.
