Indian Opinion Analysis
Travancore Palace, once the residence of the royal family of Travancore, has increasingly become a venue for high-profile cultural events in Delhi. The Home Soirée's focus on handlooms comes at a time when the government's 'One District One Product' scheme is pushing local crafts. For attendees, the event offers direct access to heritage weaves and limited-edition artisan pieces, with prices typically ranging from Rs 5,000 to over Rs 1 lakh. The next edition is expected in August 2027.
