While eating at a restaurant in Amer fort on a fine winter evening we noticed this beautiful intricate border surrounding the restaurant interiors. As our ancestors and this recipe belonged from this region, we decided to take it as our inspiration and re-created the border, weaving it with ingredients to package our best selling Indian Ubtan.

‘It’s has been my endeavour to take you back in time and relive the magic of their ways. Take home a complete experience, not just an ancestral recipe or ritual but a piece of history itself.

Regional art is the most potent language of the land. It connects you with the spirit of its people and ideology of its natives. It was important for me to research, seek inspiration and package the products in a way that spoke the same language where the recipe/ritual of the product originated from. Hope you enjoy this piece of art as much I have creating it. ’ – Manasi Golechha Bhandari

Indian Ubtan is laced with influences of Mughal art and architecture that is seen around UNESCO world heritage site, Amer fort.

We have also included a sketch of this architectural wonder, giving you a glimpse of its grandeur and heritage.

Behold your beauty secret
Snuggle me in your vanity kit
Pure & energized, a celestial Gemstone
Unearthed again to Power Your Pores
Roll me now to de-puff & glow.

All I need is tender care
soapy scrub & soft cloth is fair
freeze me for an icy flair
A dip in water a terrible scare.

Once dry, tuck me in
full moon baths make me slim
hare to serve you with daily love.

Like i did under the Qing Rulers!

Your yushi Gunlun

The story of Yushi Gunlun is special, as it takes me back to the time where we visited the forbidden city in Beijing. Wandering into the concubines chambers I got curious looking at these two big ancient stone rollers as they were the only pieces of cosmetic reference on their dressing table. That got me exploring more about them and their usage under Traditional Chinese Medicine system.

We wanted you to not just have the beauty ritual from the dynasties but also the encased box from the same period. Hence we found inspiration in the oriental forms and colors in the remnants of ancient Chinese architecture seen in Beijing for an immersive experience. ‘ – Manasi Golechha Bhandari

More about oriental color scheme.

There are five primary colours in traditional Chinese culture that correspond to the five elements and to the five directions. Harmonizing these five elements brings peace to all directions. Green (wood element) represents east; red (fire element) represents south; white (metal element) represents west; black (water element) represents north; and yellow (earth element) represents the centre.

We have also included a sketch of the Great Wall of China to give you a glimpse of the grandeur and the wonder of the world from ancient China.

Nikhaar Ubtan is packaged with our take on ‘kalapavriksha’ the wish-fulfilling divine Mahua tree along with deers and birds, painting a beautiful portrait of interconnectedness, innocence and divine harmony found in nature.

Nikhaar Ubtan is laced with the regional art of Gond that comes from the land the recipe hails from which is Madhya Pradesh, situated at the heart of central india.

Gond is a famous folk art of the Gond tribal community of central India. The Gond people believe that every element of nature, be it the hills, the sky or the trees, is inhabited by a spirit. Recreating the forms of nature therefore is done with reverence and worship of their sacred essence.

The most significant subjects explored and depicted in Gond paintings include birds, animals, and mythical beasts. Considered as the Tree of Life – the Mahua tree is an important subject, the flowers, fruits, seeds, and leaves from the Mahua tree serve many purposes for the tribe.
