As Navratri arrives, Vijayawada comes alive with devotion and celebration, centered around the revered Kanaka Durga Temple. Embracing this festive spirit, Novotel Vijayawada Varun is inviting guests to partake in Durga Puja through its specially curated Maha Bhojanam.

“Vijayawada is blessed to be the home of Goddess Kanaka Durga, and during Navratri, the city radiates an unparalleled spiritual energy. With the Maha Bhojanam, we wanted to mirror this devotion on the plate — a thali that celebrates our traditions, honours the Goddess, and offers our guests a taste of togetherness and festivity,” said Chef Shivaramakrishna J., Executive Chef, Novotel Vijayawada Varun.

The Durga Puja Maha Bhojanam has deep cultural and religious significance. Traditionally, the feast is first offered to Goddess Durga and then shared among devotees as prasad, symbolising blessings, prosperity, and togetherness. Each dish is prepared with reverence, reflecting age-old traditions of devotion through food.

Guests can enjoy an authentic festive thali featuring regional delicacies such as Sakarkand Ki Tikki, Sabudana Wada, Paneer Kofta Bahar with Kuttu Ke Poori, and to conclude on a sweet note, Makhana Ki Kheer.

The celebrations take place at Food Exchange, the hotel’s signature all-day dining restaurant known for its grand culinary spreads. The Maha Bhojanam runs for twelve days during both lunch and dinner, providing a festive dining experience for devotees and families alike.
