Welcome to The Blue Trunk!
I’m Ujval Anand, the founder—and I’m so glad you’re here.
The Blue Trunk isn’t just about artifacts; it’s about stories, memories, and the magic of India’s heritage. My journey began in the corporate world, but my heart always belonged to travel, culture, and art. Collecting pieces of history filled me with a joy I couldn’t ignore—and that joy grew into The Blue Trunk.
At the heart of our Bombay gallery sits an old blue trunk—a symbol of everything we stand for. Today, I’m thrilled to share that same charm with you, wherever you are in India. Through our website, you can now explore and experience the collection anytime, from anywhere.
So, take a wander, discover what speaks to you, and let’s keep the magic alive—together.
With warmth,
Ujval Anand

This is an ornate vintage Mukhalingam from Maharashtra. The Mukhalingam which is made up of a single piece, was at some point in time used to cover a stone linga and then removed during the stone's worship by priests. Despite some roughness in its casting, the cover exhibits impressive details, such as a clearly defined third eye, neatly arranged jata held in place by a crown or headband adorned with rows of jewel-like patterns and a swirling well-defined moustache. The Mukhalinga is adorned with a necklace and he wears Naga shaped earrings.
