“The weavers get a very equitable opportunity here to showcase their crafts and get good money for it, which they cannot elsewhere. I have always loved coming to Khazana and I always come here whenever I come to Taj Bengal. I particularly like the saris they have this time as well” — Aparna Sen

Khazana, the in-house luxury lifestyle store of Taj Bengal, reopened doors recently after a brief hiatus, with an audience comprising their loyalists and enthusiasts. Having stayed shut for 10 months due to the pandemic, Khazana welcomed its patrons again after Aparna Sen lit the opening lamp.

Saris from different regions of India, including Bengal, Assam and Andhra Pradesh adorned the hangers of Khazana. Sourced by Antaran, which is part of the Tata Trusts’ craft-based livelihood, each sari has a story to tell and the name of the weaver who has woven it. Antaran works towards fostering entrepreneurship and the self-sustenance of artisans from lesser-known craft clusters in the country.

Apart from saris from Antaran, the store also had a beautiful range of precious and semi-precious jewellery, gifting and home-decor items, accessories and photographs from a mix of local designers and artists. Snapshots:
