Welcome to the mystical world of The Blue Trunk! I’m Ujval Anand, the founder, and I’m so happy to have you here.
The Blue Trunk isn’t just about artifacts—it’s about stories, memories, and the magic of India’s rich heritage. My journey started in the corporate world, but my heart was always drawn to travel, culture, and art. Collecting these pieces filled me with a joy I can’t quite put into words, and that joy led me here.
At the heart of our Bombay gallery sits an old blue trunk, a cherished symbol of everything we stand for. And now, I’m beyond excited to bring that same charm to you, wherever you are in India. With our website, you can explore and experience our collection from anywhere, anytime.
So, take a look around, find something that speaks to you, and let’s keep the magic alive together!
Love,
Ujval Anand
Founder and Curator
This brass collectible is a vintage lamp depicting Goddess Gajalakshmi, one of the eight manifestations of Goddess Lakshmi, symbolic of abundance, prosperity and fertility. The face and the reverse side of the lamp has the goddess seated in a yogic padmasana posture flanked by elephants on either sides. The two ends of the lamp have dwarpalakas depicted on them guarding the goddess. The top of the lamp has a beautifully etched yaali, a mythical creature seen in many south indian temples. The serrated edges on the face of the lamp is a depiction of the eternal cosmic fire. The base of the lamp is deep to hold enough oil that could burn for a few hours.
Please note that vintage pieces may show signs of wear and tear and discolouration owing to its age.
