For Muslims worldwide, the joyful month of Ramadan is ending, and with it comes the excitement of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. This unique occasion is associated with many customs, rituals, and extravagant celebrations.
Among the top gatherings that stand out in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, none shine brighter than the exclusive Hari Raya Celebration with the ‘Magnificence of Raya’ hosted at The Exchange TRX.
Culture and tradition come alive
From now until 21 April 2024, breathtaking exhibits and performances will captivate visitors as they discover the grace and beauty of batik and take in visual and experiential spectacles showcasing Malay culture, tradition, and art. Inside The Exchange TRX, ornamental features will greet visitors at the doors and throughout the place.
The meal most associated with Hari Raya, ketupat, will inspire a massive installation at TRX City Park. The “Magnificence of Raya” will occupy Central Exchange and include a magnificent kampung home, an exquisite example of traditional Malay motifs, architecture, and design.
The campaign’s main feature will be Malaysian batik, which has designs deeply infused with floral motifs and greatly influenced by the country’s scenic beauty. The nationally revered Bunda Raya will serve as the centrepiece.
Sense of community and togetherness
Guests’ cultural activities will also centre around Central Exchange. Visitors planning to take a break from their Raya preparations can enjoy musical performances by a cak lempong and kompang ensemble and traditional silat and wayang kulit performances. Massive mechanical flowers replicating the breeze’s soft sway will also be included in the decorations as a tribute to Malaysia’s natural environment.
To be eligible to win fantastic items from The Exchange TRX, guests are asked to post a picture of themselves wearing their favourite Raya décor. Additional contest information will be made available on Instagram.

With local businesses like Ariani, Bonia, Calaqisya, Carlo Rino, Habib, Minimalist Lab, Wanderlust + Co., and many more offering seasonal promos and offers, The Exchange TRX is a great place to be throughout the Ramadan-Raya season.
