Celebrating the year of millets at a tree lighting ceremony
Celebrating the year of millets at a tree lighting ceremony at ITC Grand Central Mumbai.
If you wish to attend a Tree Lighting Ceremony, head to ITC Grand Central in Mumbai on December 9. Going the eco-conscious way, the Christmas Tree this year has been made of glass vases filled with various millets such as kuttu, ragi, jowar, barnyard and kangni, creating a visually stunning and sustainable centrepiece. While the event will be attended by diverse audience, including staff, guests and socialites, you can visit the hotel to see the 11.5ft tall on subsequent days too. The lighting ceremony will be accompanied by choir performances.
