MARWAR India Magazine - May - June 2025

In this issue

Welcome to the May-June 2025 issue.

On our cover are Dr. Bhushan Gagrani, IAS, and Dr. Sheetal Gagrani, a couple who prove that public duty and personal conviction can thrive side by side. As the Municipal Commissioner of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), Dr. Bhushan Gagrani plays a pivotal role in overseeing the operations of one of India’s most vibrant cities. Dr. Sheetal Gagrani, a Consultant Radiologist, extends her impact beyond the medical field through Brush of Hope, a platform dedicated to supporting victims of cyberbullying.
In this edition, we also celebrate Lakhichand Jain, a visual artist, designer and scholar who has coaxed the folk art of Mandana into the modern era. From there we head to the banquet table, where the classic Marwari wedding spread, once synonymous with heaving thalis and lavish vegetarian extravaganzas, is quietly reinventing itself.

Bharti Bangur, Gunjan Poddar, Pooja Singhal, Suman Agarwal and Surbhi Pansari share the profound insights and life lessons they encountered only after embracing motherhood. Ayush Kejriwal, Nishit Jain, Mahesh Pansari and the Soni brothers set unspoken gratitude to paper in letters that will tug at even the steeliest heartstrings.

In Marwar Prive, we shift into high gear with a road test of the Toyota Vellfire, bring a touch of serenity to summer spaces with the calming minimalism of Japandi interiors and step behind the camera to decode the art of photographing weddings.
