A Royal Invitation

The Maharaja & Queen of Mysore invited the members of the OWC to The Royal House of Mysore Fashion show on Tuesday the 27th of February.

We attend the event along with approximately 800+ of the glitterati of Bangalore. We enjoyed an evening of cocktails & Dinner while we witnessed dance performances and a dazzling display of the new collection from the Royal House of Mysore designed by His Highness Sri. Srikanta Datta Narsimharaja Wodeyar at the Bangalore Palace .

On arrival at The Palace we felt like glitterati ourselves.
A welcoming committee at the entrance, flute music, fairy lights everywhere and palace guards with bamboo torches lined up on the red carpet.

Jacqueline looking glam for the occasion.

A band playing as the guests arrive inside the palace grounds.

As per the invitation people were dressed in their formal/safari suits/National Dress. Yes, the invite actually mentions Safari suits!

His Highness Sri. Srikanta Datta Narasimharaja Wadiyar talking about the new collection and the launch of The Royal House of Mysore calendar.


Some of the outfits featuring in the new collection. Basically silk sarees that are draped and accessorised...Some really interesting designs!


Enjoying the dinner (biryani, roti, fish, paneer (Soft cheese) gravy, Dal Fry (lentils) on our laps. It's a good thing we had forks because it might have been a royal mess otherwise!
