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 unique vintage collectible is a Bhuta mask from coastal Karnataka, representing Nandigona/Maisandaya. The intricately crafted mask features large, expressive eyes, long curved horns, and ears jutting out, with a crescent moon on the forehead that links it to Nandi, the vahana of Lord Shiva. Maisandaya/Nandigona is a mute spirit venerated in Bhuta shrines in the Bhuta cult, and masks of this deity are rare compared to other Bhuta masks. This vintage piece is a true gem for collectors of Indian art and culture, and a fascinating addition to any home decor.
