The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts Unveils Melodies by the Leela Sonic Identity and Launches A Living Raga Album

The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts recently unveiled Melodies by The Leela, its official sonic identity and a new cultural expression of its enduring commitment to Indian art, heritage and hospitality. With Melodies by The Leela, the brand extends this philosophy into music, creating an ownable sonic identity that complements its existing sensory expressions and deepens the emotional connection guests have with The Leela. Launching this new brand platform is A Living Raga, the inaugural commemorative album under Melodies by The Leela. Composed exclusively for The Leela by Grammy-winning, seventh-generation sarod maestros Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash, the 14-track collection celebrates four decades of True Indian Luxury through original compositions inspired by the warmth, grace and timeless philosophy of Atithi Devo Bhava. Produced in collaboration with longtime creative partners Karsh Kale and Sawan Dutta, A Living Raga also features acclaimed musicians Rajesh Prasanna on flute, Ahaana Ali on sarangi, Gopal Dayal on shehnai and Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, creating a contemporary interpretation of India's classical traditions. The album received its first listening at The Leela Palace New Delhi on 7th August, in the presence of an illustrious gathering including Ustad Amjad Ali Khan and Subhalakshmi Khan, Vijay Amritraj, Falguni Shane Peacock, Amitabh Kant, Suresh and Priyanka Raina, and Shereen Bhan, among other distinguished guests. The evening also featured a specially curated commemorative menu celebrating four decades of True Indian Luxury, tracing The Leela's journey through a series of regional culinary expressions inspired by its destinations and heritage. From Malvani flavours representing its first chapter in Mumbai to interpretations of Karnataka and other regional traditions, the menu brought together the diverse culinary identity of The Leela in one celebratory experience. Music has been part of The Leela experience for over fifteen years. Through its longstanding creative collaboration with Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash, the brand has, in the past, commissioned original compositions that have welcomed guests into its hotels, enriched its public spaces and become an intrinsic part of its sensory language. Now, these musical expressions come together under Melodies by The Leela, a long-term brand platform that will continue to evolve through original compositions, destination-inspired collections and collaborations with leading artists. As part of the launch, The Leela also introduced a limited-edition collector's vinyl of A Living Raga. Conceived for discerning collectors and music connoisseurs, the vinyl celebrated the enduring beauty of analogue listening, where craftsmanship, ritual and permanence take precedence over convenience. From its bespoke artwork to its tactile production, every detail was thoughtfully designed as a collectible expression of The Leela's philosophy of timeless Indian luxury. With the launch of Melodies by The Leela, the brand introduces a new dimension to its sensory experience, one that extends beyond place into the enduring language of sound. Beginning with A Living Raga, the platform will continue to evolve through original compositions, artistic collaborations and destination-inspired musical expressions, reinforcing The Leela's commitment to celebrating India's cultural heritage through contemporary luxury experiences. Following its first listening at The Leela Palace New Delhi, A Living Raga, the inaugural album under Melodies by The Leela, is now available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music and The Leela website.
