Welcome to The Blue Trunk!
Iām Ujval Anand, the founderāand Iām so glad youāre here.
The Blue Trunk isnāt just about artifacts; itās about stories, memories, and the magic of Indiaās 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 couldnāt ignoreāand that joy grew into The Blue Trunk.
At the heart of our Bombay gallery sits an old blue trunkāa symbol of everything we stand for. Today, Iām 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 letās keep the magic aliveātogether.
With warmth,
Ujval Anand

This vintage painting, portrays the trinity of deities from Jagannath Puri using natural colors. The upper section features devotees paying respects to Lord Jagannatha, while the lower part showcases two Simhas in the Odia style. In the center, the Jagannath temple idols are flanked by a devotee offering fish on the left and, seemingly, Lord Brahma on the right. This depiction connects with a unique tradition at Jagannatha Temple in Puri, where fish from the sacred Markanda temple tank is offered to the presiding goddess, Vimala, on Durga Ashtami. Despite signs of aging on the right side, the painting is beautifully presented in a vintage wooden frame.
