Crowne Plaza New Delhi Mayur Vihar has revealed Charkha: The Tree of Tomorrow, a remarkable 10 feet tall Christmas tree showing sustainability and empowerment. Created in collaboration with Vikara, a Khadi India initiative, the tree’s fabric was handwoven by artisans in Dehradun, blending traditional techniques with a vision for a greener future.
Pankaj Gupta, Area General Manager, IHG Southwest Asia, and General Manager of Crowne Plaza Mayur Vihar, shared: "This holiday season at Crowne Plaza Mayur Vihar, we’re doing more than celebrating—we’re sparking real, lasting change. Our Christmas tree, brought to life by local artisans, is a vibrant reflection of our core values sustainability, community, and conscious living. It’s not just a festive symbol; it’s a call for action, urging our guests and team to embrace the responsibility we all share in shaping a better future. Sustainability isn’t a trend for us—it’s woven into the fabric of our daily practices and decision-making. This tree represents our unwavering commitment to doing business the right way, with respect for the planet and the people we serve. We invite everyone who walks through our doors to join us in creating a world where thoughtful choices lead to powerful, positive change."
Crafted in natural hues of Madder red, Marigold yellow, Turmeric gold, Onion Peel brown, and Cutch, the tree stands as a tribute to Gandhi’s Swadeshi movement and the enduring legacy of Khadi. Five artisans dedicated over 100 hours to weave this masterpiece, incorporating upcycled materials and natural dyes. The result is a tree that embodies resilience, hope, and a harmonious connection with nature.
The unveiling was accompanied by festive activities, including a magical Santa Meet & Greet, a Christmas choir performance by children from Seth M R Jaipuria School, Noida Extension, and the presentation of a Gingerbread House crafted by in-house chefs. Together, these events celebrated community spirit and the joy of the holiday season.
