They will blend tradition and creativity, honour culinary talent and showcase the colours, tastes, and rhythms of South Asia in one unforgettable experience.

At the center of it all is Chef Meghna, the beloved creator of Meghna’s Food Magic and one of India’s most inspiring voices in the kitchen. With a following of more than three million, she is known for turning everyday cooking into something fun, healthy, and full of heart, from oil free samosas to sugar free cakes.

During the day, Chef Meghna will also host an interactive cooking demonstration, giving guests the chance to learn her signature style of cooking and creative twists first hand.

The cultural celebration continues into the evening with a breathtaking performance by Chandana Wickramasinghe & The Dancers’ Guild. This acclaimed Sri Lankan group of 40 dancers blends centuries-old Kandyan and folk traditions with fresh choreography, creating performances that tell stories and connect cultures. Their shows have mesmerised audiences in more than 70 countries and now; they willl light up the stage at Sun Siyam Olhuveli with movement, music, and soul.
