Dr. inaugurated the 15-day long cultural festival. Dhiraj Srivastava, Resident Commissioner, Government of Rajasthan who said, “This is just the beginning of SAGA’s beautiful initiative to promote various regional cuisines and cultures that have been lost to time. I am particularly excited for this as SAGA is well known for all things premium and their healthy approach to food and culture”.
Talking about the Rajasthani festival menu, Atul Kochhar, Chef Partner, SAGA said, “Saga Kush Koli is the head chef and I had to brainstorm for months to come up with this special menu. Rajasthani cuisine has been influenced by the lack of vegetation and water in the arid state. Each region of Rajasthan has its own trademark delicacy. Rajasthani cuisine, especially non-vegetarian food, has been greatly influenced by the lifestyle of its royal family – the Rajputs. Keeping everything in mind, we have created a menu that has everything from street style to ethnic, modern to homestyle and royal delights.”
From the vegetarian selection, indulge in the delights of Dal Bati Churma, Paneer ke Sule, Gatte ke Pulav, Rajasthani Kadi Kachodi, Papad ki Sabji while non-vegetarians can enjoy the rich flavors of Mathania Lal Mas, Murgh Bajre Ka Sweta.

We have organized this festival to promote the art, music, food and culture of Rajasthan, which is a major contributor to the country’s tourism industry. It is an honest attempt to encourage and empower local artists and artisans by giving them a platform to showcase their work to the world. We are delighted to have received so much support from Rajasthan Tourism. The festival will showcase the true essence of Rajasthan, beyond the palaces.”
