Curated by Anshu Khanna and Charu Singh, the Royal Fables Diwali Edit will bring together more than 50 heritage brands, royal ateliers and master artisans, presenting heirloom jewellery, couture, handwoven textiles, collectible art, handcrafted décor and museum-worthy objects, alongside a thoughtfully curated programme of conversations, fashion experiences and automotive heritage.
A Day of Royal Conversations, Craft and Culture
The festivities will commence with the inauguration by Rashmi Vardhan, marking the opening of the Royal Fables Diwali Edit and setting the tone for a day dedicated to India’s rich royal and cultural legacy.

Celebrated saree drape artist Dolly Jain will lead an exclusive Talk Show – ‘Kisseh’, Reviving the Maharani Era. The session will be followed by a special conversation between Dolly Jain and women from royal and aristocratic families, exploring the saree as an expression of heritage, identity and personal style.

The fashion programme will continue with a curated High Tea hosted by Shivani Chopra and Shilpi Gupta bringing together guests from the worlds of fashion, culture, design and lifestyle.
In the evening, the celebration will move outdoors with the HMCI Vintage Car Rally hosted by Sneha Chopra.
