    A room built for staying longer than intended...Dupion Jaipur

    If you’re still figuring out what to do for Valentine’s Day, Jaipur has made it easier for you. The city’s historic facades and beautiful landscapes have never been short on places to go out. Although a new addition, Dupion, introduces an intimate nocturnal room where the drink leads the evening, it’s one to keep in mind as Valentine’s plans start to take shape.

    Named after Dupion silk, prized for its raw texture and historic ties to the city’s trading past, the space follows the same idea of depth over display. The place is rooted in classical techniques of house infusions, fermentations, clarifications and precise dilution.

    Drawing from the ancient Silk Route, teas, spices, botanicals, florals and dried fruits are interpreted into cocktails that unfold gradually, revealing structure and balance before you even take a sip! The bar programme is curated by Jeet Rana, who is known for his ingredient-driven approach and Indian-inflected flavours.

    The experience stays focused on flavour and progression. You notice temperature, weight and finish first, with ingredients appearing in stages across the palate. The food is developed alongside the drinks, with small plates designed to echo or sharpen notes within the cocktails so the pairing feels continuous.

    The idea behind the space is simply to let the craft speak for itself. The room doesn’t try to impress immediately, but it earns familiarity over the course of the evening. “We wanted to create something exceptional for Jaipur - an experience shaped by care, technique, and atmosphere,” say Aziz & Shokat Panwar, Co-owners, Dupion. “Dupion is built for guests who understand the patience behind fermentation, the discipline of dilution, and the difference a few seconds can make at the bar. For us, true luxury in drinking culture lives in restraint, consistency, and the quiet confidence of getting things right every night.”

    Because the space is intentionally intimate, the team can stay precise with every pour. The interiors echo this restraint with warm silk textures, softened lighting and tactile details that draw you closer. Dupion opens its doors to Jaipur, giving the city a place to unwind evenings that deserve time, attention, and a well-made drink.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
