Edition 1:  A Baithak With Sunaini Sharma

On the evening of April 18, 2025, Bright Hospitality unveiled the first edition of The Heritage Gathering at the much-anticipated launch of Ikk Panjab in Chandigarh. It was an evening steeped in memory, music, and a deep love for Punjab’s rich cultural heritage.

Ikk Panjab is more than a restaurant—it’s a tribute to a land of poets, saints, and seekers. Every dish tells a story, every flavour holds a memory, and every corner evokes the warmth of a long-lost home. Rooted in the spirit of Punjab’s five rivers, it honours the food, history, and resilience of a people who carried their kitchens and traditions across borders and generations.

The evening's highlight was an intimate baithak featuring Sunaini Sharma—renowned vocalist, third-generation musician, daughter of Dolly Guleria and granddaughter of the iconic Surinder Kaur. With a voice both powerful and tender, Sunaini brought the soul of Punjab to life through songs that echoed with legacy, longing, and love.

With this first gathering, Bright Hospitality begins a new tradition—celebrating heritage through not just food, but music, storytelling, and shared remembrance.
