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
Founder & Curator
A very fine miniature vintage idol of godess Rukmini. The piece is over 70 years old and has been beautifully crafted depicting the goddess in all her glory. A closer examination reveals very fine work on her headdress, ornaments and the robe. Despite its age, the piece is in great condition and has gathered a lovely patina overtime.
Rukmini is the principal wife and queen of Lord Krishna, the king of Dwaraka. Krishna heroically kidnapped her and eloped with her to prevent an unwanted marriage at her request and saved her from an evil Shishupala (described in the Bhagabata Purana). Rukmini is the first and most prominent queen of Krishna. Rukmini is also considered an avatar of Lakshmi, the Goddess of fortune.
Please note that vintage pieces may show some signs of wear and tear, owing to their age.
