Security footage captured the animal jumping over the front gate and roaming the premises earlier this week at the Sarovar Portico hotel in Gujarat before it left shortly afterwards.

Sanjay Koradia, the managing partner of the hotel, said there had been no confrontation between the lion or humans on the hotel grounds.

He told The Indian Express: "The CCTV footage suggests that the lion had apparently lost its way and left the hotel premises soon after finding that it was going in the wrong direction. No untoward incident was reported."

Koradia added: "The watchman at the gate was alert and stayed quiet as the lion entered the hotel premises. Through intercom, he alerted other staff members about the presence of the animal in the hotel and asked them to keep doors and windows shut."
