On this special occasion, Art Karat will also launch their spectacular new jewellery collection 'Padmavati'. This collection has been created by Asha Kamal Modi, the designer behind Art Karat, who has tirelessly researched and created rare masterpieces to capture the grandeur of the period.

This collection is particularly special as for the first time a designer has recreated the amazing jewels in silver instead of gold hence, making it more affordable for a lot of women who wanted to own a part of this timeless heritage but couldn't dream of ever possessing the same.Art karat was launched in 1988, a time when the concept of designer jewellery was unheard in India. In face of acute cynicism, Art Karat has carved a niche for itself as one of the most recognized jewellery houses in India. Today, Art Karat employs over 2000 craftsmen in various parts of India.

Art Karat has designed jewellery for more than 10 Bollywood blockbusters including Devdas, Monsoon Wedding, Kamasutra, Zubeida, Ram-Leela, and Bajirao Mastani. Many celebrities, film stars, politicians, and artists including Rekha, Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai, Tina Ambani, Cherry Blaire and Alicia Keys have adorned Asha's designs. Art Karat has also been commissioned by royalty including Princess Diana, Queen Rania of Jordan, and Shekha Shamma – Crown Princess of UAE.
