In June 2024, chef Arun Kumar at Araiya Palampur hosted a Sikh Royal Kitchen food pop-up to share and celebrate the rich culinary heritage of the Sikh tradition. The royal kitchens of Patiala, he adds, were famous for their Mughal-inspired cuisine, which was influenced by the culinary traditions of the Mughal Empire. He explains, “The royal kitchens of Patiala were established during the reign of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh (1891-1938), who was known for his love for food and hospitality. The royal family had a long tradition of hosting grand feasts and banquets, and the royal kitchens were designed to cater to the demands of these lavish gatherings."
