Mumbai, Oct 05th 2026: For four decades, The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts has celebrated the richness of India through its art, culture, craftsmanship, traditions and flavours, shaping a distinctive expression of True Indian Luxury. This festive season, the brand brings this sensibility into the art of giving through Signatures by The Leela – the brand’s gifting collection where Indian artistry, exceptional craftsmanship, indulgent flavours and the distinctive sensory language of The Leela come together in a considered expression of the festive season.
At the heart of this year’s collection is the timeless artistry of Pichwai, an art form deeply rooted in the artistic and devotional heritage of Nathdwara. Defined by intricate compositions, distinctive motifs and rich, evocative colours, Pichwai has for centuries expressed stories of devotion, abundance and celebration through art. For The Leela’s special Diwali collection, this enduring tradition finds a contemporary expression through the work of master Pichwai artist Rajaram Sharma, whose lifelong practice is deeply rooted in Nathdwara. His artistry reflects not only the discipline of the form, but also a commitment to preserving, interpreting and carrying its beauty forward.
Created for Diwali, a celebration rooted in light, devotion and the spirit of giving, the special-edition Pichwai design brings this artistic heritage into the festive ritual of gifting. The lotus motif featured across the boxes adds another layer to the story, bringing together the symbolism and visual richness of Pichwai with The Leela’s own legacy. Through Sharma’s artistry, the lotus becomes part of a larger narrative connecting the enduring traditions of Indian art with The Leela’s celebration of four decades of True Indian Luxury.
Signatures by The Leela extends this artistic expression into a considered curation of The Leela’s signature creations and sensory experiences, bringing the essence of the brand beyond its hotels and into the ritual of festive gifting. Alongside artisanal flavours, Indian delicacies and indulgent festive creations, select hampers feature distinctive expressions from across The Leela, including Tishya by The Leela, Aujasya by The Leela and Leela Ke Phool. The Leela Signature Hamper, for instance, brings together a Tishya by The Leela Gift Set and Fragrance, Aujasya by The Leela Herbal Infusions and a Leela Ke Phool gift hampers, alongside coffee from The Leela Coorg Forest Sanctuary amidst other festive creations.
Across the wider collection, Aujasya by The Leela finds expression through its Date Syrup, Almond Sattu Butter and Herbal Infusions, while Tishya by The Leela extends into its Fragrance, Gift Set and Soy Candle – bringing the brand’s culinary, wellness and olfactory signatures together as sensory reminders of The Leela experience. Together with artisanal mithai and baklava, chocolates, macarons, festive cakes, nuts, teas and thoughtfully chosen festive keepsakes, these elements allow the experience of The Leela to travel home for the season.
The collection includes The Leela Signature Hamper, alongside a curated selection of festive hampers in varying sizes and combinations. For a more personal expression of gifting, the ‘Make Your Own Hamper’ option allows guests to curate their selection from a considered assortment of artisanal and gourmet creations.
As The Leela celebrates four decades of True Indian Luxury, the festive season extends beyond gifting, inviting guests to experience the spirit of celebration across its hotels through ‘Festive Getaway’ stays, Dussehra and Diwali programming, special menus, festive recipes and curated culinary and cultural experiences. Each offering brings its own interpretation of the season while remaining rooted in the warmth, graciousness and sense of place that define The Leela.
