The Rambagh Trunk

A sculptural piece, reminiscent of Rambagh, adorns one of the hallways within this architectural landmark in the heart of Jaipur. In 1835, this Indo-Saracenic masterpiece was built as a hunting lodge before it had been expanded into a royal residence. Even as this erstwhile home to maharajas was revamped into a Taj hotel by 1972, it has continued to emanate a monumental majesty to date.

Treasure. Our tribute to Rambagh Palace had begun with the quest for ‘treasure.’ In our pursuit to eternise the heritage of the royal estate, we found ourselves in awe of The Palace Keys. This element, viewed as having witnessed the romantic journey of the palace through the decades, was reimagined and rendered, as 61 keys casted in silver alloy, to epitomise the timelessness of the iconic property.

The quintessence of Rambagh Palace, artistically encapsulated as ‘The Rambagh Trunk’ in 2015, has treasured the keys within ever since. Each facet of this work of art, conceptualised and crafted over thousands of hours, is imbued with meaning. While the doors signify the two wings, they unfold into a centre showcasing five crests symbolic of the regal presidential suites of the palace.

This is our homage to the Rambagh Palace.
