India is a land of religions and festivals. Each religion
has its own significance and a traditional way of expression. Diwali is one
such major festival in the country. Called as the festival of lights, Diwali
marks the day when Lord Rama returned to his home city of Ayodhya after
spending 14 years in exile. Festival of lights? Is it as simple as - since the
entire city had been illuminated to welcome the young Prince back home, or
could it be a metaphor with a deeper meaning? Diwali signifies the victory of
light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over
despair. Diwali not only brightens up the neighbourhood but also our lives. It
is that time of the year when celebrations are the top priority of every
household. It’s time for guiltless indulgence in mouth watering sweets,
delicious food and bursting crackers. All the relatives, including the cute
little cousins and annoying aunties, visit each other to exchange festive
greetings. All this cheerful hustle brings along happiness and leaves back
memories.
In this blog article, we bring you some of the festive
locations, installed with our beautiful cement tiles, within the country to
celebrate this Diwali.
Mumbai
This is that one place where all
of us must have been to at least once. It could have had been with our close
friends, office gang, weekend peeps or even with a date. Social has a rustic
ambiance that makes you fall in love with it on first sight itself. The naked
bricked walls, the swings, old school metal chairs, wooden partitions, the
‘straight outta The Godfather’ style couches and armchairs, and the cheery medley
of Heritage™ tiles by Bharat Floorings – sounds like a perfect place for modern
day Diwali celebrations with a traditional, rural touch. Ayaz Basrai and the
Busride Design Studio are to be thanked for a chain of these cool hangouts.
The British might have been long gone but the influence of their colonial charm can today be found at the British Brewing Company located in Palladium, Lower Parel. If you have a thing for the lighter hues and tints, patterns made by arrangement of large stones, wooden interiors with just the right use of metal, and designs that are detailed and elegant, then you are sure to fall in love with this place. Tejal Mathur has poured her heart out while designing the British Brewing Company and we are proud to be a part of it.
Bhubaneshwar
Bhubaneswar in the state of
Odisha is home to many popular temples, Jain antiques, weaponry and indigenous
pattachitra paintings. If you happen to be on a spiritual expedition this
Diwali in Bhubaneshwar, make sure you pay a visit to the restaurant at Mayfair
Group of Hotels irrespective of where you’re staying. The Star and Stripes
Pattern and Scallop border in Terracotta Red, Jaisalmer Yellow and Black from
our Heritage™ Collection will add up to your experience.
Delhi and NCR
Diwali is when all of us catch up
with our near and dear ones, friends and relatives. Everyone is in a festive
mood and to compromise on celebrations is something that one would not
appreciate. If you have diverse food preferences then Chew is the place you
should enter in your GPS. Located at the Connaught Place in New Delhi, Chew is
a multi cuisine restaurant serving pan Asian delicacies. Designed by Amith
Chhabra with an ambiance that complements every mood, Chews has these distinct
Black and White custom made tiles by Bharat Floorings.
So you're a 'Social' person in a
place like New Delhi? Never mind the city and just drop by Nehru Social located
within the metro station. The vibes are sure to make you forget the world and
set your mood right. The rustic charm has been a tradition developed at Socials
across the country. This one is no different. The cheery medley of our Heritage™
tiles, the wooden furniture, the old school metal chairs, the typical light
bulbs, etc. add value to each other and make up such likable interiors.
Lucknow
Sometimes it’s comforting to
savour the traditional Indian preparations than to bite into something borrowed
from halfway across the world. The Curry Leaf restaurant offers you an
authentic Indian cuisine from all across the country in Lucknow, a place famous
for its traditional rich flavours. The restaurant itself gives out traditional
vibe with the Cafe Habana Pattern in Buttercup Yellow and White tactfully used
by Architect Ashish Wagh of Studio Praxis while working on the interiors.
Raipur
City Centre at Raipur is always
full of hustle with people coming from distant places for the variety of
options it provides. Diwali calls for shopping and if you happen to be in this
particular mall, you might better as well check out TMC - The Music Cafe. As
the name itself suggests, TMC is modern day cafe that speaks highly of music
through every single element that makes up its interiors. Vivek Rathore from
Salient Design Studio, Kolkata made sure everything was on point including the
combination of random colour Heritage™ tiles.

Bangaluru
Bangalore is the capital of
Karnataka and a major centre for India's information and technology industry. The
city is also known for its parks and nightlife. So if you’re in Bangalore with
your relatives, mostly the cousins, who wouldn’t mind having a loud party this
festive season, hop to Loft 38. Loft 38 is a hip lounge bar with an urban food
menu that lifts up your spirits on any random evening, let alone the festivals.
The lounge is designed by Khosla Associates with an attractive woody and rustic
ambience, and a customised floor pattern in Black, White & Grey by Bharat
Floorings.
Another hotspot in the high-tech
city is the Indigo Live Music Bar located in the Kormangala area of Bangalore.
Live music, fancy food, upbeat ambiance and the Hexagon tiles in sea blue, grey
and silver grey by Bharat Floorings are a few things that will definitely catch
your attention and leave behind a lasting impression.
If you are looking for a traditional
dine out place this Diwali then Kasariya in J. P. Nagar is where you need to be
at. Not just the food but everything about this restaurant is traditionally
Indian from the moment you step inside. Elegantly carved and designed pillars
and beams are one of the elements that develop the ancient Indian aura. The
yellow colour tones chosen for this restaurant can easily be explained from the
name Kesariya itself. The Inverlochy Pattern further adds to the decor of the
restaurant. Interior credits to Dalvi Architect.
Hyderabad
Olive Bistro in Jubilee Hills of Hyderabad is a unique place
that will stun you for good. It is like a gem found in one of the most
unexpected places. Located alongside serenity and filled with positive vibes,
this place is a must visit if you’re in Hyderabad and planning for something
memorable this Diwali. Enjoy the food, the soothing ambiance, comfy interiors and
the beautiful Star and Stripe Pattern of Heritage™ tiles.
Chennai
Bombay Brasserie in Chennai offers you a comfortable dining
experience with flavoursome food from Tamil Nadu and the neighbouring states.
The authenticity of every cuisine is maintained close to perfection. Apart from
the food, the interiors designed by Payal Khanna from Aura Designs create a
pleasant environment inside the restaurant. The popular cheery medley of
Heritage™ tiles by Bharat Floorings is again a crucial part of the ambiance at
the restaurant.
