Bhopal, October 11, 2026: Taj Lakefront Bhopal has concluded a seven-day food festival, ‘The Soul of Satpura’, which showcased the traditional cuisine and culinary heritage of Madhya Pradesh’s Satpura region. The event was held from October 1 to 7 at the hotel’s Satpura Terrace and featured dishes from the Tamia area of Chhindwara district.
The festival offered guests both vegetarian and non-vegetarian thalis, prepared using local ingredients and traditional cooking methods passed down through generations. The menu highlighted lesser-known food traditions and aimed to introduce visitors to the authentic flavours of rural Madhya Pradesh.
Traditional décor and regional focus
For the duration of the festival, Satpura Terrace was decorated to evoke a rustic, village-inspired atmosphere, reflecting the simplicity and cultural identity of the Satpura region. The setting, combined with the curated menu, was designed to immerse guests in the region’s culinary and cultural heritage.
Highlighting local food heritage
Sandeep Kaul, General Manager of Taj Lakefront Bhopal, said the festival was an effort to celebrate the culinary traditions of Madhya Pradesh and introduce guests to the distinctive flavours of Tamia. Kaul noted that the initiative aimed not only to serve food but also to connect guests with the culture and traditions behind the dishes.
Promoting lesser-known regional cuisine
According to the hotel, the event sought to raise awareness of the relatively lesser-known traditional dishes of the Satpura region and promote the food heritage of Madhya Pradesh to a wider audience in the state capital.
