Visakhapatnam, October 18,2025: As the spirit of Diwali lights up the coast, Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach celebrated the season’s charm with an interactive Ladoo Making Ceremony at the scenic Pool Deck. The evening brought together families, friends, and food enthusiasts for a joyful blend of tradition, creativity, and community.
The event began with a warm welcome by the hotel team, setting the tone for an evening that celebrated India’s cherished festive heritage. The culinary experts at Novotel led guests through an engaging, hands-on session, where participants learned to craft a variety of laddoos — infusing every bite with ghee, cardamom, and festive cheer.
The Ladoo Making Ceremony was more than just a culinary experience — it was a celebration of sweetness, prosperity, and togetherness. The event welcomed guests of all ages to roll, shape, and decorate their ladoos, creating edible keepsakes to take home in beautifully packed festive boxes.
Adding to the vibrancy of the evening were live music performances, a festive décor setup, and a Ladoo Making Contest that saw enthusiastic participation. Guests also enjoyed gift hampers and explored organic pottery painting sessions with local artisans, further enriching the cultural experience.
Commenting on the event, Lakshmi Sridhar, General Manager, Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach, said, “Diwali is a time to connect, create, and celebrate. Through experiences like this, we aim to bring families together in a fun, meaningful way — honouring our traditions while adding a unique Novotel touch.”
As the sun set over the Bay of Bengal, laughter and music filled the air, marking a perfect prelude to the Diwali festivities. The Ladoo Making Celebration at Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach truly embodied the joy of community, the richness of Indian culture, and the warmth of the festive season.
