Inside Pandit Jasraj’s home: From a ‘Wall of Honour’, zardozi peacock wall, to a 65-year-old tanpura

Pandit Jasraj's home offers a glimpse into his personality and legacy, combining traditional Indian aesthetics with luxury. The residence, now preserved by his family, showcases a warm, elegant color palette of beige, cream, and gold, with statement pieces adding color and character. The living room features plush cream sofas, velvet accent cushions, and intricate zardosi work on a wall adorned with peacock motifs and delicate floral branches.

The dining area complements the living room with a dark wooden table and high-backed chairs in yellow floral fabric, and a brass lamp. A 'Wall of Honour' displays framed Padma awards, honoring Pandit Jasraj's achievements, alongside an oil painting by M R Achrekar. A prayer room contains a carved silver mandir, idols, and a 65-year-old tanpura, an important instrument in Indian classical music.

The bedrooms offer brighter colors and playful elements, such as a yellow-suspended swing chair in a rainbow-themed kids' bedroom and a low platform bed against a vibrant yellow accent wall in the primary bedroom. Interior stylist Rubeena Singh notes the trend of incorporating family heirlooms and antiques into contemporary interiors, emphasizing their emotional value and sustainable appeal.
