Season of merriment
The New Indian Express|December 09, 2024
The engineering of Leela Palace reflects the magnificence of Chettinad architecture. The palace's courtyard is where the magic happens during the festive season—it "allows people to gather and laugh and enjoy."

Accommodating a 100-plus audience in this area, all eyes are directed to the stage positioned at the end. The stage carried the weight of a 400 kg tree, topped with a star that shone under the moonlight.

Standing 35 feet tall without calculating the base height, the tree was strung with LED white lights from top to bottom, tinsel, white ornaments, glass baubles, and many more. On Saturday evening, kids wearing Santa hats gathered around the tree, and as the countdown began, the children grew excited to light the tree. With this ceremony, the celebration of the holiday season commenced at the palace.
