Decor : Anantaya

Anantaya is a lifestyle design studio that is centered on the philosophy of using traditional crafts in a contemporary style. The gamut of products designed include home decor, textiles, lighting, furniture, gifts etc. The store is located in the beautiful environs of Narain Niwas Palace, a place that provides a perfectly apt background for such eclectic products.

What I love most about Anantaya is the fact that there is a deep-rooted tradition behind each of their products, whose relevance has been so elaborately explained and then the product is designed in a completely unconventional way but nowhere losing on the origins. Whether it is the Cresent serve ware or the Lotus mirror, each item has been conceived not only from the beauty perspective but their being conducive to the overall well-being of a house.

There’s also a separate section dedicated to organic skincare with things like soap, lip balm, aroma oils, candles etc. The overall vibe of the store is very calming and uplifting. Visit Anantaya to buy things for your home or gifts for your loved ones or simply to witness the amazingly designed stuff 😊.

A Visual Delight : Part 1

January opens the box of the year and brings out days that are bright and clear. January is an amazing month to be in Jaipur, there are so many multifaceted exhibits and festivals that happen in the balmy days of this month.

Tourists from within and outside the country throng the city to witness its eclectic cultural heritage. The whole city is decked up like a bride during this period, also to commemorate the republic day of our country. For the part 1 of this series, we bring the majestic Albert Hall (Museum of Jaipur) to you in a plethora of colourful lights.

I think I better not write too much in this post 😂. I will leave you to take in the visual delight of these stunning images-

Bookaroo : Children’s Literature Festival

Jaipur hosts Asia’s largest literary event – “Jaipur Literature Festival” every year, but it was wonderful to see “Bookaroo“- a literature festival exclusively for children come to the city. It was so fascinating to see little ones taking part in various events and exploring the world of books. Reading has the power to change lives and it is very important to inculcate this habit right from childhood.

The festival was organised at Jawahar Kala Kendra for two days and had workshops, storytelling sessions, debates, reading area, book stall and a lot of other fun activities for children. Here are certain clicks from the event –
