The restaurant will be adorned with festive decor, setting the stage for an immersive experience that goes beyond the plate.
Taj Coromandel, an enduring patron of art and culture in the city for several decades, adds a special touch to this extravagant festival by inviting you to experience the euphoria of this celebrated festival with exceptional classical performances from December 26 – 30, 2023. The festivities commence on December 26 at Prego with a tête-à-tête with Ms Sudha Raghunathan, the esteemed Indian Carnatic vocalist and recipient of Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri awards. In dialogue with Mr. K.N. Shashikiran (Managing Director & President – Carnatica Global and Kreative Eventures Inc USA), Ms Sudha Raghunathan will share her musical journey with the audience, accompanied by a sumptuous high-tea curated by our MasterChefs. This is part of the Rendezvous series by The Chambers that offer bespoke and niche experiences for our guests.
