Diwali Gala At The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta

Last night I was invited out to the The Ritz-Carlton, Atlanta where they welcomed Indian-born Executive Chef Ramesh Kaduru to the hotel. The hotel gave a fabulous Diwali Gala that served as a formal introduction to chef Kaduru and to showcase the hotel’s unique and multifaceted Indian wedding and event capabilities. During the festive affair, Chef Ramesh Kaduru prepared traditional Indian cuisine, hundreds of guests came dressed in their best Bollywood attire, there was live art installations, demonstrations and festive performances. It was my first time EVER attending anything like this and I had a blast!!!

Diwali is an ancient Hindu festival of lights, held in the autumn of each year. It is one of the largest and brightest festivals in India, is associated Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and marks the beginning of the fiscal year in India.
