The project:
The Leela Palaces, Hotels & Resorts promotes Mindful Luxury, a sustainability vision rooted in circularity, green energy, and clean mobility.
Through Leela Ke Phool, the brand upcycles more than nine tons of temple flowers into handcrafted incense sticks, creating employment for women from marginalized communities. Today, 55% of its energy comes from renewable sources, and The Leela Palace Udaipur operates electric boats on Lake Pichola, saving 22,000 liters of diesel each year.
The program reflects a form of luxury guided by balance, purpose, and environmental awareness.
