Welcome to the May - June 2026 issue.
On our cover this issue is Jayashree Mohta, whose journey reflects a legacy shaped equally by inheritance and reinvention. Born into the illustrious Birla family as the daughter of the late Dr. Sarala and Basant Kumar Birla, she stepped into leadership at a time when few women occupied such roles in Indian industry.
We revisit a relationship that began three decades ago with Sangita Devi Kathiwada. This time, she is joined by her son, Digvijay Sinh Kathiwada, as the two reflect on heritage, legacy, and the evolving philosophy behind Kathiwada City House, a thoughtfully restored Art Deco townhouse originally built in the 1940s.
In our food feature, we celebrate the mango season through the lens of Marwari kitchens, where generations of recipes honour the much-loved fruits in all its forms.
In Art & Culture, we spotlight Arna Jharna: The Desert Museum of Rajasthan, founded by the late Komal Kothari. Dedicated to preserving the living heritage of the Thar Desert, the museum offers a rich insight into the crafts, oral traditions, music, textiles, and everyday life of Rajasthan’s desert communities.
In Marwar Privé, we turn our attention to India’s luxury baraat boom, alongside fashion for the wedding guest.
Marwar is a community-based magazine with an emphasis on profiling the best and the brightest in the Marwari community. The magazine reaches the elite in India and abroad who want to read and discover the wonders of all things connected with the community. Thus, the subjects featured have to have the flavour of Marwar and Rajasthan—its culture, lifestyle and traditions. We highlight arts, crafts, music, dance and theatre as well as fashion and food that are connected to the region apart from immensely successful businessmen and businesswomen. In the past, luminaries like Laxmi Mittal, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Indu Jain, Sanjiv Goenka and Rajashree Birla, to name a few, have graced our cover.
