The Idea
Inspired by an imagined tale of friendship between two great kings—one from Rajasthan, located in the north of India, and the other from Karnataka, located in the south of India, the pack brings the two corners of the sprawling country together in one pack. Becoming the symbol of unity, the two kings with distinct regional and religious differences are recreated in historically true detail; from jewels, headgear, facial hair styling to topography.
This is created using the dying art of Mughal miniature painting, making Monarch a vehicle for preserving things that stand the test of time. The coming together of art, history and emotional bonding makes it a one-of-a-kind representative of the evolving Indian mindset.
The packaging is a majestic work of art, with one king on each side raising a goblet to each other. Echoing the grandeur of their portraits, the rest of the packaging carries fine gold detailing to add a touch of celebration. When placed side by side, the alternating kings ‘cheer’ their bond, inviting collectors and connoisseurs into the world of Mansion House.
