Welcome to The Blue Trunk!
I’m Ujval Anand, founder and curator.
What began as a personal passion for collecting has grown into The Blue Trunk, a collection of Indian vintage art, ritual objects, masks, wooden carvings and other cultural finds. Over the years, travel and encounters with collectors, families and artisans have shaped the way I discover and curate these pieces.
At our gallery in Aarey, Mumbai, an old blue trunk remains a symbol of the journey that started it all. Through this website, I’m delighted to share these discoveries with collectors and curious minds, wherever they may be.
I invite you to explore the collection and discover something that speaks to you.

This exquisite piece is a finely crafted Shiva Mukhalingam that sits on a coiled panchmukhi Naga. The Lord is depicted with big expressive eyes, a well defined headdress and has naga ornaments on his ears. The coiled naga also has very detailed work on it. Please note that the Mukhalingam and the Naga come as two separate pieces.
Made by Artisans From: Uttar Pradesh
