New Delhi, May 2: In a remarkable confluence of art, culture, and women-led empowerment, Puja Garg, National President of FICCI FLO, Raseel Gujral of RGAL, Kunwarani Dr. Ritu Singh, National Lead and Day Chair and Co-Led by Sonia Singla, spearheaded an inspiring initiative under the aegis of FICCI FLO, marking the commencement of a year-long collaboration (May 2026 – May 2027) with Arzaani, as part of the national initiative on visual arts.
Hosted at the elegant Arzaani Atelier Privé, Bikaner House, the event—conceptualized and presented by Raseel Gujral under the banner of Raseel Gujral Art Legacy—unfolded as “Sacred Movements: An Artistic and Spiritual Dialogue”, drawing an overwhelming participation of over 140 FLO members from across the country.
The evening stood as a tribute to India’s rich artistic heritage, showcasing a rare and refined curation of Tanjore paintings, antique Pichwais, Raja Ravi Varma oleographs, and exquisite sculptures. Each piece resonated with spiritual symbolism and timeless craftsmanship, creating a deeply immersive cultural experience.
A defining highlight of the event was an evocative Bharatanatyam performance by acclaimed dancer Shreyasi Gopinath, who brought the artworks to life through expressive mudras and an intense shloka-based narrative. The seamless integration of dance and visual art offered a unique sensory journey, enriching the audience’s understanding of India’s sacred traditions.
The ambience, adorned with fragrant mogra and delicate rose petals, infused the gathering with a sense of divinity and serenity, elevating the overall experience into a soulful celebration of art and spirituality.
Another key moment of the evening was the launch of the exclusive *FLO x Arzaani Privé Membership Card*, a significant step towards fostering women entrepreneurship and creative collaboration. The initiative offers members privileged access, including a 10% benefit at Arzaani, early previews of curated collections, and exclusive festive offerings—further strengthening the bond between FLO and Arzaani.
The event also featured an engaging interactive session and Q&A, followed by a thoughtfully curated high tea celebrating diverse Indian culinary traditions from both North and South India.
Prominent dignitaries present on the occasion included Puja Garg, National President, FICCI FLO; Raseel Gujral, accompanied by Naveen Ansal; Past President Namita Gautam; along with Governing Body members, initiative leads, and esteemed FLO members. The initiative was ably co-led by Sonia Singla.
Speaking on the occasion, Pooja Garg, Raseel Gujral and Dr. Ritu Singh emphasized the importance of preserving India’s artistic heritage while empowering women artisans and creators. She reiterated FLO’s commitment to creating platforms that celebrate cultural legacy while fostering meaningful opportunities for women across sectors.
