December:- Royal Fables, a heritage platform that promotes regal,
royal India in all its glory held its first exposition in Chandigarh in
association with Kanjimull & Sons by Gaurav Khanna at Taj Chandigarh, with
a formal inauguration by V.P. Singh Badnore, the honorable Governor of Punjab.
17 Royal exhibitors presented
art, fashion, textiles and art objects made in leading palace studios across
the nation. Besides handpicked collections by leading designers and labels that
keep the rich Indian handmade tradition alive were also showcased.
Anshu Khanna, Founder, Royal Fables said that Governor Punjab, himself a
Rajput from the royal family of Badnore, understands the importance of
nurturing our heritage and we feel blessed that he inaugurated the show.
She added that this is the
milestone year and we are trying to take the regal legacy to smaller cities and
towns which are inhabited by luxury seekers and heritage lovers. Royal
Fables is envisaged as that one platform where we showcase the aura of Princely
India as recreated by young scions of royal families.
The
exposition closed with a talk on the handcraft legacy of Princely India,
chaired by Rani Vinita Singh Patiala and moderated by Anshu Khanna. The evening
ended to the sounds of live music by Prabhtoj Singh and a regal fashion walk
featuring the visiting royal dignitaries who will dress up in their own
creations. Many posing as muse to other royal designers. There was also a
culinary showcase of royal cuisine led by two siblings Thakur Shivraj Singh of
Limdi and Kanwarani Vijaya Singh Nahan who are both chefs at heart and blue
blooded by birth.
Gaurav Khanna said that the
bond between Kanjimull and Princely India dates back to 1870 when my great
grandfather Kanjimull Khanna, started designing personal jewelry for the Royal
family of Patiala. Other states of Punjab followed. Slowly our name spread
right up to Great Britain and we were designing for the nobles of Britain. It
was exciting to present our collection at the Royal Fables at the Taj
Chandigarh.
