Maharashtrian Comfort Food Evenings Debut at Marriott Executive Apartments Hyderabad

Marriott Executive Apartments Hyderabad is set to begin the new year with a comforting culinary celebration, bringing authentic Maharashtrian flavours to Mazzo with a special dinner pop-up curated by Pune-based home chef Swati Mawlankar. Making her debut appearance at the property, the pop-up offers guests a chance to experience traditional home-style Maharashtrian cuisine in a warm, relaxed setting. Known in her city for her handmade modaks during Ganesh Chaturthi, Swati Mawlankar brings recipes rooted in family traditions and regional cooking styles from across Maharashtra. The menu reflects everyday comfort food prepared with familiar flavours, slow cooking, and simple techniques that highlight the soul of Maharashtrian kitchens. The spread begins with classic starters such as crispy sabudana vada, aromatic kothimbir vadi, and batata vada, along with favourites like kachori, bakarwadi, and spicy thecha. These small plates set the tone for a hearty and flavour-packed meal. Vegetarian highlights include matki usal and bharli vangi, while non-vegetarian offerings feature robust Kolhapuri-style chicken and mutton preparations, along with Konkani prawns. The dishes are complemented with masala bhath and cooling koshimbir raita, creating a balanced and comforting dining experience. Adding to the homely charm are live counters serving freshly made thalipeeth and pithla bhakri, bringing the feel of a traditional Maharashtrian household meal to the rooftop venue. No Maharashtrian feast is complete without desserts, and the menu delivers with puran poli, modak, shrikhand with poori, and orange burfi. Popular festive favourites make a special appearance, offering guests a taste of celebration alongside comfort. This limited-period dinner pop-up at Mazzo, Marriott Executive Apartments Hyderabad, is a short yet flavourful showcase of Maharashtrian cuisine, perfect for diners seeking authentic regional food and nostalgic home-style flavours.

BLR Hubba 2026 Builds Momentum with Makkala Hubba Pre-Events and Striking Public Art

Bengaluru’s cultural calendar is warming up as BLR Hubba 2026 begins its journey with a set of engaging Makkala Hubba pre-events, offering art, storytelling and shared community experiences ahead of the main festival starting January 16. Currently on view is “Nose Squats”, an intriguing public art installation by Siddhartha Kararwal, displayed at the War Memorial on Brigade Road. At first glance, the installation shows a man struggling to lift an oversized nose, creating a playful visual. Look closer, and it becomes a layered commentary on pride, ego and self-image in urban life. Crafted using rexine with a gold finish, the artwork reflects on excessive consumption and how self-importance is constantly negotiated within city spaces, inviting passersby to pause, reflect and question. This weekend also features two interactive pre-events designed to bring children, families and communities together through storytelling and creativity. On Saturday, January 4 at 11:00 AM, Atta Galatta hosts a Mixed-Age Storytelling and Art Session, curated by Mudito x Zuva Life. This 90-minute gathering is intentionally unstructured, encouraging people of all ages to sit together, paint, listen and talk. With storytelling led by elders and hands-on art-making, the session focuses on connection rather than performance, creating a welcoming space for shared experiences across generations. Earlier in the weekend, on Friday, January 3, an Interactive Storytelling Session for children will take place at the Yeshwantpur Community Center (Jana Sahaaya NGO). Led by Swetha U and Ankita H, the session places children at the heart of the narrative. Instead of listening passively, participants actively shape the story by making choices that influence the plot, characters and outcomes, encouraging imagination, confidence and collaborative thinking. Looking ahead, BLR Hubba 2026, beginning January 16, will unfold as a city-wide celebration of cultural expression across multiple hubs. Key highlights include Nartisu Hubba, featuring Svāhā, a powerful flow arts performance with fire, light and pyrotechnics by Svaha Visual Arts; Nataka Hubba, showcasing Second Class Queer, an award-winning solo play by Kumar Muniandy exploring queer identity and diaspora; and Thindi Hubba, where food designer Kabyashree Borgohain presents Zero Waste Cooking, transforming discarded ingredients into imaginative dishes. Neighbourhood celebrations will come alive through Rasthe Hubba, including the Richards Town Rasthe Hubba, where Clarke Road turns into a vibrant community space filled with music, markets and play. For young minds, Makkala Hubba will feature Build-a-Story, a 10-day interactive installation by Leewardists and BBLOX Design, inviting children to reimagine Bengaluru through creative play. The complete festival schedule is available on the official BLR Hubba website.

ICC Hospitality and Tourism Conclave in Siliguri Puts Eastern India’s Growth Story in Focus

The Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) is set to host one of Eastern India’s most significant tourism and hospitality gatherings as the Hospitality and Tourism Conclave takes place in Siliguri on January 16 and 17, 2026, at ITC Fortune. The conclave comes at a time when the eastern region is witnessing accelerated growth in tourism, backed by better connectivity, a stronger domestic travel base and growing interest from hotel brands, developers and entrepreneurs. With over 500 delegates expected to attend, the two-day event will bring together national industry leaders, hospitality exhibitors, investors and key stakeholders. The conclave aims to offer Eastern India a unified platform as the region’s presence on the national tourism map continues to grow steadily. The programme is designed to reflect the evolving structure of the hospitality business. Discussions will focus on the future of tourism in the East, emerging hospitality formats such as villas, hostels and hybrid assets, and the importance of owner and brand alignment. Sessions will also cover direct booking strategies, revenue management, and the growing role of technology, OTAs and artificial intelligence in shaping guest experience and operational efficiency. Additional conversations will explore branding and marketing, design-led commercial outcomes, the rise of strong regional hospitality brands from Eastern India, and the scaling of food and beverage businesses. Curated networking sessions will allow participants to connect meaningfully, with the conclave concluding with an awards and gala evening. The event takes place against the backdrop of rising hotel development activity across North Bengal, Sikkim and the Eastern Himalayan belt. Improved airport infrastructure, enhanced highway connectivity and year-round travel demand have positioned the region as one of India’s most promising tourism corridors. Through this conclave, ICC aims to encourage collaboration among owners, operators, investors and policy stakeholders to ensure long-term and sustainable growth. The Hospitality and Tourism Conclave 2026 is presented by MakeMyTrip and powered by Yanolja Cloud Solution, with support from leading hospitality, travel, technology and destination partners. The strong line-up of sponsors reflects growing industry confidence in Eastern India’s tourism and hospitality potential. Commenting on the initiative, Sumit Mitruka, Chairman, ICC Hospitality and Tourism Committee, said, “Eastern India is at a very important stage in its tourism journey. There is rising demand for nature-driven, wellness-oriented and design-focused travel. Opportunities for owners, brands and entrepreneurs are expanding rapidly. This conclave is meant to bring all stakeholders together so the region can move forward with a shared vision. The East deserves stronger national attention, and this forum aims to accelerate that shift.” The conclave is being supported by Harsh Berlia, Chairman, ICC North Bengal, and Gopal Dalmia, Vice Chairman, ICC North Bengal, both of whom have played a key role in strengthening the region’s business and tourism ecosystem. ICC has invited stakeholders from across the hospitality and tourism value chain to participate in the two-day event in Siliguri.
