MARWAR India - November - December 2025

In dieser Ausgabe

Welcome to the November - December 2025 issue.
On our cover this issue is Devyani Jaipuria — a woman who reminds us that privilege, when held with intention, can transcend legacy and become leadership. Despite being born into one of India’s most distinguished Marwari business families, she built her own gravity.

In our heritage pages, we travel to Nawalgarh in Shekhawati — Rajasthan’s famed “Open Art Gallery”, where a haveli is reborn and stands in quiet splendour. Its fresco-laden walls, painted over a century ago with natural pigments, echo the cosmopolitan worldview of the Marwari Seths who once lived there.
In conversation, National Award–winning filmmaker Manish Mundra, the mind behind ‘Masaan’ and ‘Newton’, speaks about his creative evolution as he turns photographer with ‘Wild Africa: Through My Lens’.

On the bookshelf, Sonu Bhasin’s ‘Entrepreneurs Who Built India: Ramkrishna Dalmia’ traces the rise, fall, and resurgence of one of India’s most complex industrialists with unflinching clarity.
Our art and culture section brings three compelling narratives: nature-inspired contemporary artist Geetika Bajaj’s fourth solo exhibition, Wings of Hope, a deeply personal tribute to her late cousin Sunaina Kejriwal; the extraordinary Gandhi-centred memorabilia archive of 82-year-old collector Kishore Jhunjhunwala; and an encounter with National Award–winning miniature artist Babu Lal Marotia at ‘Treasures of India’.

In Marwar Privé, new-age grooms take centre stage as experts decode this evolving landscape in wedding fashion.
