Elemental Alchemy: The five elements are honoured through ancient pottery and experiential dining at Kaner Retreat.

Guests begin with a guided viewing of the Thar Desert Pottery Project, an innovative exhibit curated by Dr Madan Meena. Meena—who is an artist, a documentarian, and an academic—has spent the last two years travelling through the Thar Desert, collecting over 800 objects from across the Thar. 

Guests are then invited to sit down to a seven-course meal designed by celebrated chef Pankaj Sharma, who was named one of Conde Nast Traveller's 40 under 40 chefs. The menu, which integrates locally sourced ingredients, was inspired by Panchmahabhuta (the five elements). In keeping with the spirit of the potter communities, meals are served communally, with all guests dining together at one table.
