Rediscovering Lost Raya Traditions in a Melange of Culture and Festivity
Nestled in the heart of Mutiara Damansara, the Curve invites visitors on a nostalgic journey to experience the timeless tradition of ‘Kiriman Raya.’ This celebration pays homage to the age-old practice of thoughtful gifting, promising an enchanting experience filled with cherished moments.
A Vibrant Tapestry of Shared Moments
Inspired by the historic Pejabat Pos Bukit Rotan, the Ground Floor of the Curve transforms into a vibrant tapestry of shared moments. From now until 14 April 2024, the Centre Court will exude the charm of a traditional ‘kampong’ with its own Pos Malaysia service counter, various retro haven shops, and a bustling Raya Bazaar. Shoppers will also have the opportunity to send their Raya Cards and goodies to loved ones through the Pos Malaysia mailbox and courier services on weekends.
Community Camaraderie and Giving Back
As part of these festivities, the Curve extends warm blessings and wishes to the local orphanage, Pusat Jagaan Kasih Harapan, Kota Damansara. They are providing hampers filled with essential items, special Raya packets, along with Raya performances and an iftar session at Royale Chulan, the Curve, fostering a sense of community camaraderie.
Reviving Tradition: The Largest Display of Raya Greeting Cards
To revive tradition, the Curve showcases over 10,000 Raya greeting cards throughout the mall, engaging shoppers and the community in celebrating this long-forgotten custom. Recognized as the largest display of its kind in Malaysia, the mall has been awarded the title for “The Most Extensive Display of Raya Greeting Cards at the Curve, Mutiara Damansara” by the Malaysian Book of Records.
Sustainability and Festive Excitement
In line with the Curve’s sustainability efforts, these Raya cards will later be repurposed for upcoming creative children’s art workshops, collages, and other activities, ensuring they continue to bring delight beyond the Curve’s walls and connect others in the spirit of the season. Adding excitement to the celebrations, the Curve presents a diverse range of engaging activities, from captivating musical performances to delightful weekend crafting sessions tailored for children. Additionally, visitors can't miss the Fiesta Raya celebration at The Street and Piazza, and the Festival Kraf Kebangsaan at Fashion Walk, Level 1, showcasing the best of national crafts from 15th March to 7th April 2024. These events add an extra layer of excitement to your Raya celebrations at the Curve.
