Indian Hospitality Awards 2010 awarded Le Sutra as Indias most Unique Hotel. Several artists /designers /curators /philosophers /visualizers were inspired to take on the challenge. What followed was much research and the team applying head and heart amongst many works and rejections and re-works created Le Sutra a?? the worlds first Indian Art Hotel.
Taking from a palette of philosophy and myth and art form and historic pride - it turned out to be quite a journey as we delved across time in our search of the illusive Indian-ness. At Le Sutra we have tried to weave thousands of years of Indian ethos and narrate it through contemporary Indian Art. Sutra in Sanskrit is a *rope or thread that holds things together*. The three levels of the Hotel represent the Gunas which sum up worldview in Indian philosophy. Gunas are tendencies and attributes that exist within people - nature and things - their thoughts and emotions - so essential to the evolution of consciousness. It's a way of qualifying objects - an artifact or a being.
