BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

Diwali, the vibrant and joyous “Festival of Lights,” is one of India’s most significant and widely celebrated festivals. A celebration of the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance, Diwali illuminates the nation with a brilliant glow for five consecutive days.

Although Diwali is traditionally an Indian celebration, it is also an inclusive event that welcomes people from all backgrounds and cultures. In Araneta City, Prana Indian Cuisine, a thriving Indian restaurant, brings India’s rich and vibrant culinary excellence closer to Filipino people.

Prana Indian Cuisine is located at Novotel Manila Araneta City and features a show-kitchen at World Kitchens in Gateway Mall 2. It is led by Chef Rajan Veeranan, a former chef de partie at Pullman Central Park Gurgaon in India, who offers a vibrant exploration of Indian cuisine.

Prana is the Sanskrit word for “breath” or “life force”. This Indian show kitchen aims to give a life-giving force of authentic Indian dishes to every diner. Prana takes the palates on a flavorful journey to experience signature dishes full of strong flavors and mouthful bursts of spicy, sweet, smokey, and savory tastes.

In celebration of Diwali, the Festival of Lights, Prana Indian Cuisine is giving away a free order of one (1) Pani Puri for every ₱1,000 single receipt from October 18 to 22,2025.

 So, join the festivities at the City of Firsts with the finest offerings from Prana in World Kitchens and in Novotel Manila Araneta City.
