There are some settings that are picture-perfect – that wait in anticipation of a star cast to come and occupy their rightful place to complete the tableau. Chand Bagh on this day, wears a similar look. Raseel and Navin appear as the perfect hosts, dressed impeccably, as they welcome guests into their palatial home designed by the hostess herself. Vrinda and Hemendra Singh of Bhainsrorgarh are amongst the first ones to walk in. They arrive with cauldrons of traditional festive food cooked by them, setting the tone for an afternoon that is a true tribute to the senses! Diviya Kumari and Sanika Bhuvneshwari Singh turn out in beautifully embroidered outfits by designers Plumtin and Shraddha Nikam from Royal Fables, the annual exhibit that sees members of erstwhile families showcase art and craft from their regions. Mayankraj Singh walks in looking dapper in an achkan by designer Raghavendra Rathore and a hint of surma in his eyes, reminiscent of the days when men dressed traditionally and used black kohl to enhance their presence and personalities. The festive spirit is palpable in the surroundings and in the rich clothes donned by the men and women. It is also invoked in the conversations around memories of Diwali, as well as unique journeys of passion and carrying forth legacies. Raseel has converted the creative inheritance of her father artist, Satish Gujral and mother Kiran Gujral, a true-blue connoisseur, into a design vocabulary that is now a matchless empire. Her husband Navin, shares her interests and together they are one of India’s most successful design entrepreneurs.
