The sarod maestros, Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash showcased a specially curated repertoire that enthralled an august gathering with a mesmerizing performance. The event was attended by Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Mrs Subhalakshmi Khan, Jaya Bachchan, Shveta Bachchan, Nitisha Nanda, Adnan Sami, Milind Deora, Aditya Thackeray, Nisha Jamwal, Pria Kataria Puri, Apoorva Mehta and many more well-known personalities.

Speaking on the occasion, Anuraag Bhatnagar, Chief Operating Officer, The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts said, "Today's luxury consumer is seeking authentic and transformative experiences that deliver lasting memories. India offers a plethora of rich cultural traditions and as a brand that defines the epitome of true Indian luxury, we have the unique opportunity to curate desirable experiences that resonate with our guests. Music is a universal language. It transcends space and time and touches the heart. We are delighted to curate bespoke experiences that will enrich and delight our guests and reinforce the emotional connection with the brand."

Amaan and Ayaan represent the 7th generation of a musical lineage, as sons and disciples of the sarod icon, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan. They are also the curators of 'Raaga' and 'New Delhi – A Journey'. These albums form a part of the signature Melodies by The Leela, which is the music that plays across The Leela hotels as you walk through their lobbies. The evening also witnessed the unveiling of the latest album by the Bangash duo, Sand and Foam created in collaboration with Grammy-winning composer Kabir Sehgal to interpret the deep philosophy and poetry of Kahlil Gibran. The album is already gaining international acclaim and will now form a part of the signature Melodies by The Leela ensemble.

Icons of India by The Leela is an initiative aimed at recognizing and nurturing the essence of India and the richness within through a celebration of India's finest who are the world's best. Through this initiative, The Leela aims to create meaningful experiences that inspire guests and allows them to connect through a shared passion. The brand had unveiled this initiative for the first time in Bengaluru in 2021 with a private concert by the sarod virtuosos. The brand later welcomed Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi and Miss World 2017 and Bollywood actress Manushi Chhillar as Icons of India. The evening was a symbol of convergence between The Leela brand and what their Icons stand for.

The Leela is the essence of true Indian hospitality imbued with a distinct aesthetic that celebrates the country's traditions, art, cuisine, artisanal craft and culture and is rooted in its offering of India's rich legacy to all its esteemed guests.
