The festive season arrived at Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay Mamallapuram with a distinctive and eco-conscious twist – their annual Cake Mixing Ceremony. This beloved tradition brought together guests, local dignitaries, media, and the resort’s team for a vibrant celebration of holiday spirit and sustainable practices.
This year’s event saw a dynamic transformation of the cake mixing process, incorporating barrels and crushers for a more interactive and engaging experience. Guests enthusiastically added fragrant dried fruits, nuts, and spices to the barrels, their excitement fueled by festive holiday tunes and seasonal treats. The atmosphere buzzed with joy as attendees dressed in vibrant holiday colors, united in their celebration of the season.
One of the most striking highlights of the event was the resort’s eco-friendly tree lighting ceremony. Breaking away from traditional holiday trees, the resort crafted a unique tree entirely from locally sourced coconut leaves (panaellai). This innovative approach, extending to the tree’s base and decorations, showcased the resort’s commitment to reducing waste and embracing natural, sustainable materials.
The festive ambiance was further enhanced by the heartwarming participation of children from the local community. Their joyous carols filled the air, spreading holiday cheer and encapsulating the true spirit of the season.
Mr. Shabin Sarvotham, Senior General Manager of Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay Mamallapuram, eloquently expressed the resort’s philosophy, stating, “At Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay, we strive to harmoniously blend the joy of tradition with our commitment to sustainability. This year’s Cake Mixing Ceremony is not merely a celebration of the festive spirit; it is a step forward in our mission to reduce our environmental impact. The use of coconut leaves for our tree and the participation of local children in carol singing highlight our ongoing efforts to embrace sustainability while fostering a sense of community.”
