From the Sotheby’s website, about this lunch and panel discussion :

Fashion and art were the big talking points as 40 guests gathered at the Leela Palace Chankyapuri in New Delhi last weekend for a discussion hosted by Sotheby’s and Harper’s Bazaar India. The magazine’s editor Nonita Kalra led a lively talk and the lunch on offer was themed ‘with a touch of Raja Ravi Varma’.

David Abraham, Feroze Gujral, Nonita Kalra, Radhika Chopra, Sotheby’s International Head of Indian and South Asian Art Yamini Mehta and Sotheby’s India Managing Director Gaurav Bhatia were on the panel. It was one of the most engaging conversations about art and fashion that I’ve been privileged to be in the audience for.

The food deserves a special mention. Chefs at The Leela Palace, Chanakyapuri never fail to make me fall in love with food all over again. The client and the agency ( thank you PR Pundit ) had saved me a seat the table – in any case, I dislike photographing guests while they’re enjoying a meal – and I had my fill of everything, diet be damned.
