    After the final chukka, the mood shifted from competitive to celebratory. Guests were invited to a High Tea that served as the official close of the season. It was an elegant yet relaxed gathering where players and patrons mingled, reflected on the week’s highlights, and enjoyed curated refreshments in a setting that felt distinctly Raffles: polished, warm and understated.

    “For us, polo embodies the very spirit of Jaipur,” said Rajat Sethi, Cluster General Manager, Raffles and Fairmont Jaipur. Through the Sirmour Cup, he noted, the brand is able to connect guests with the city’s heritage in a way that feels authentic and rooted in community.


    Gurnoor Bindra, General Manager of Raffles Udaipur, added that supporting the Sirmour Cup reflects a belief that hospitality should honour the character of its destination. As the 2026 edition comes to an end, the Raffles Sirmour Cup stands as a reminder of how sport, culture and hospitality can come together seamlessly. Through its continued collaboration with the Rajasthan Polo Club, Raffles Hotels & Resorts reinforces its commitment to celebrating Rajasthan’s traditions while creating meaningful experiences for those who gather to witness them.

    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.
