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

Behold the mesmerizing beauty of this Kavadi-shaped panel, showcasing the divine presence of Goddess Saraswati seated gracefully on a fully bloomed lotus. The intricate carving of the goddess playing the veena, an embodiment of supreme knowledge, is truly remarkable. The top section of the panel is designed to resemble the majestic gopuram of a temple and features meticulously engraved details that further enhance its charm. The lower part of the panel is adorned with two exquisitely crafted birds and delicate motifs, adding a touch of elegance to this magnificent piece. Carved with exceptional precision from the finest Raintree wood, this collectible is truly a work of art that exudes an aura of sophistication. The panel comes with a hook on the reverse side, making it easy to hang and display in your home or office.
Kavadi is used as a part of the well known ceremonial offering practiced by devotees of Lord Murugan (the son of Shiva), as part of the Thaipusam festival in Tamil Nadu. The practice involves devotees carrying a burden/kavadi, to seek Lord Murugan’s help. Devotees usually carry the burdens while walking and dancing along a pilgrimage.
