# Pirelli Calendar 2027: first all-India edition shot in Rajasthan, Delhi 2026-08-13T15:43:41+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The 2027 Pirelli Calendar is the first edition dedicated entirely to India, shot in Rajasthan and Old Delhi with an all-Indian cast. It features celebrities like Padma Lakshmi, Aditi Rao Hydari and Anoushka Shankar, alongside 200 ordinary Indians such as barbers, artisans and dancers. The project was started by Norwegian photographer Sølve Sundsbø and the late photojournalist Raghu Rai. After Rai’s death in April, his daughter Avani Rai stepped in and shifted the shoot from a studio to the streets her father documented. The calendar is not sold publicly; only 20,000 copies are given as corporate gifts to monarchs, CEOs and celebrities. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Avani Rai, India, photography, Pirelli Calendar, Raghu Rai, Rajasthan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/pirelli-calendar-2027-first-all-india-edition-shot-in-rajasthan-delhi/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
