Poise, elegance and grace define the royals of India and The Daily Guardian presents a rare collection of images that were shot just before the pandemic in Hyderabad during a Royal Fables exposition that rekindle the Princely aura.
The heritage platform joined hands with Kishandas & Co, an acclaimed heritage house of jewels, who amongst all its accomplishments, was historically the chosen jeweller to the Nizams. Tall and handsome, Nawab Kazim Ali Khan of Rampur, does poetic justice to their rare Basra string and emerald kantha, which he wears over a stunning achkan in petit point by Mehraab. Meanwhile the three beautiful princesses look stunning in the understated saris by heritage designer Juhi Shah and the opulent, state of the art ornaments by Kishandas.
While Princess Manjari Mishra of Ayodhya and Princess Vaishnavi Kumari of Kishangarh combine ruby red saris with stunning jadaus lined with emerald drops, Princess Maanvi Kumari of Jobat looks stunning in a lavender saris by Juhi Shah. A collective of Indian silhouettes that define opulence and elegance, the shoot celebrates regal dressing with a mélange of meticulous craftsmanship and mesmerising play of colours. While Juhi is known for her mastery over classic and timeless pieces that spell bridal bliss, Kishandas is known to create royal, regal jewels that bring the Nizam era alive.
