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 devotional art print depicts Nammāḻvār at the center, surrounded by the lineage of Srivaishnava Āchāryas and the 63 Shaiva Nāyanmārs. Nammāḻvār (c. 9th century CE) is one of the twelve Āḻvārs whose Tamil hymns form the Divya Prabandham. The guru lineage represents the unbroken sampradāya tradition, while the Nāyanmārs were Shaiva poet-saints of the 6th–8th centuries whose hymns shaped the Bhakti movement in Tamil Nadu. The combination reflects the shared devotional heritage of the Tamil saints across sects.
The print is mounted and encased in a rustic golden frame.
Dimensions including frame: 16 in(L), 14 in(H)
