Rajasthan is a culturally rich state and has artistic and cultural traditions that reflect the ancient Indian way of life. It has a rich and varied folk culture which is both fascinating and mesmerising.

The songs depict the day to day relationship and chores, which is often focused around fetching of water from wells and ponds. Rajasthani cooking was influenced by the lifestyle of the Rajputs and the availability of ingredients in this arid region. Foods that could last for several days and could be eaten without heating was preferred. Scarcity of water and fresh green vegetables have all their effect on the cooking.

To bring in the true experience of Rajasthani culture and food, Le Meridian has  flown in a group of artistes headed by Babu Bhatt from Jaipur. A traditional team of chefs headed by Chef Moola Ram is also here to ready Rajasthani delicacies.

The dinner buffet will feature an array of traditional dishes, which include tongue-tickling sherbaths, staters like kachories, childas and a long list of vegetables and all time hits like the ker sangri, dal–bhatti-churma are part of this lavish spread. The buffet will be featuring a long list of dessert selection which include the traditional jalebi, malpua, anjeer katli, mewa rabri etc.

There will also be a separate section featuring non-vegetarian dishes like laal maas, bater,etc.

The restaurant, La Brasserie, is all decked up to give a great feel of Rajasthan—with a replica of Hawa Mahal, puppets, camels and kachi ghodi adorning the ambience. The fest is on from September 28 to October 7.
