Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], August 21: LuLu Mall, Lulu Hypermarket and Funtura Bengaluru brought the spirit of Varamahalakshmi Habba to life this week with a series of festivities that blended tradition, community participation and shopping, drawing hundreds of visitors between 17th and 21st August. The celebrations culminated on 19th August with a live rangoli competition, a felicitation ceremony for winners, and an evening Kannada Jam Session on 21st August that had families singing along to beloved Kannada favourites.
The festivities opened with a dedicated Varamahalakshmi Habba mini market at the mall, where shoppers browsed pooja essentials, festive decor and traditional finds to prepare for the auspicious occasion. Visitors, many dressed in traditional silk sarees and festive attire, were seen shopping together with family through the specially decorated corridors, adorned with banana leaf borders, marigold garlands and festive signage around the stalls.
A highlight of the week was the large scale rangoli competition held on the mall's atrium floor, which saw over 126 participants from young girls to homemakers and senior citizens meticulously sieving coloured powders and hand crafting intricate floor art. A panel of judges toured the numbered entries before announcing Winner and Runner-Up titles on stage, with prizes presented amid confetti to jubilant participants and their families.
Underlining the scale of the celebration, LuLu Hypermarket, LuLu Mall Bengaluru and Funtura together dedicated significant space to exclusive festive offers for customers through the week, alongside special festive combos at LuLu Hypermarket timed to the Varamahalakshmi shopping season.
The celebrations closed on the evening of 21st August with the Kannada Jam Session, a live music evening that brought together performers for a night of melody celebrating Kannada culture. Visitors gathered on the atrium floor to sing along to popular Kannada favourites, turning the mall into a community stage for the festival's closing hours.
"Varamahalakshmi Habba is one of the most cherished festivals for Kannadiga families, and it was heartening to see that spirit come alive at LuLu Mall Bengaluru from the dedication of our rangoli participants to families shopping together and singing together at the jam session. Bringing LuLu Hypermarket, LuLu Mall and Funtura together to create space for exclusive festive offers was our way of making the celebrations a little more rewarding for our customers, this is part of our continued commitment to celebrate festivals like these throughout the year and we look forward to bringing many more such celebrations to Bengaluru" said Mr. Noman Aziz Khan, Director of Karnataka Region, LuLu Group India.
