Navratri is one of the most vibrant and spiritually uplifting festivals in India. These nine sacred nights are filled with devotion, celebration, family gatherings, and of course, delicious festive food. For many people, Navratri also means following a satvik diet while fasting — enjoying wholesome dishes made without grains, onion, or garlic.
This year, if you’re looking to celebrate the festival with an indulgent yet traditional culinary experience, two luxury Hyatt properties in the NCR region are offering specially curated Navratri thalis. From Grand Hyatt Gurgaon’s festive spread to AnnaMaya at Andaz Delhi’s satvik dining experience, these menus beautifully combine tradition, flavour, and luxury.
Let’s explore what makes these Navratri feasts truly special.
