A Vision in Design: Amina Bhatia Unites Art, Heritage, and Modern Elegance in The Jindal Residence, a Kurukshetra Masterpiece for Naveen and Shallu Jindal
Set amidst the serene expanses of Kurukshetra, The Jindal Residence is more than just a home; it is an immersive canvas brought to life with passion, history, and a profound connection to art, culture, and design. At its heart, this residence reflects its dynamic owners, Naveen and Shallu Jindal—celebrated for their roles in business and philanthropy and their unyielding zest for life. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a deep appreciation for the arts, The Jindal Residence beautifully marries elegance with vitality, and tradition with innovation.
A Home That Reflects Its Owners
For Mr. Naveen Jindal, the vision was clear: The Jindal Residence needed to embody every dimension of his life—whether as a steadfast politician, a visionary industrialist, a steel magnate, or a devoted family man. Often called a ‘man of steel’ in the business world, his softer side finds expression in the warmth and personal touches of this space. Upon stepping inside, guests are greeted by black-and-white family photographs that capture cherished moments and milestones, evoking a sense of legacy, heritage, and pride.

A Vision of Elegance and Heritage
Equally important was Shallu Jindal’s desire to weave art and culture into The Jindal Residence. As an accomplished Kuchipudi dancer, her passion for the arts finds expression in various corners, particularly in the skylight area, which draws inspiration from the serene, artisanal aesthetics of Good Earth. This space transforms into a refuge where light, art, and design blend to create an ambiance of serenity. Bold patterns—striking stripes, vibrant Suzani textiles, and intricately handwoven cushions—infuse the space with warmth and personality, making every corner feel both intimate and thoughtfully lived-in.
The couple’s love for reading is another defining feature, with books occupying pride of place in almost all common spaces. These collections not only add character but also reflect the intellectual curiosity of the inhabitants, ensuring The Jindal Residence feels lived-in, thoughtful, and undeniably rich in stories.


The challenge for Amina Bhatia was not just to renovate a space but to breathe new life into it within a tight 30-day timeframe. This feat required skill, precision, and an intimate understanding of the family’s ethos. “Amina’s approach to design is quietly transformative. She has an incredible way of bringing together elegance and purpose in a way that feels effortless yet deeply meaningful. Her work speaks to the essence of who we are, with a quiet strength that resonates long after,” says Shallu Jindal.
An Artistic and Cultural Narrative
Upon stepping through the grand entrance, visitors are immediately enveloped in an ambiance that feels both timeless and vibrant. The entrance lounge, bathed in soft, diffused light, sets the tone for The Jindal Residence—a masterful blend of contemporary sophistication and nostalgic charm. Drawing inspiration from Good Earth’s iconic color palette, the space weaves together hues that are rich yet restrained, creating a backdrop that allows the thoughtfully curated artworks to shine.
As one moves deeper into The Jindal Residence, the design unfolds like a story, leading to the sun-drenched central skylight area—a stunning architectural feat that serves as the residence’s beating heart. The interplay of natural light and shadow here is nothing short of poetic, casting a warm glow that transforms throughout the day, breathing life into every corner. Dominating this space is a delightful artwork by Kaimurai and an arresting Pegasus sculpture—a tribute to Naveen Jindal’s enduring passion for polo, a sport that has long been a metaphor for his dynamic spirit and relentless drive.

Guest Retreats: A Study in Serenity
The guest bedrooms, on the other hand, are a study in serenity. Designed to be luxurious yet unpretentious, these spaces draw from a muted color palette, creating a restful environment that is both calming and elegant. Thoughtful accents like floral patterns, handcrafted ceramic lamps, and bespoke furniture pieces ensure that every guest feels enveloped in comfort while being surrounded by understated sophistication. These rooms serve as retreats, offering visitors a tranquil haven while maintaining a strong connection to The Jindal Residence’s larger design narrative.

In the dining area, the design reaches new creative heights, where the family’s love for entertaining converges with a passion for botanical art, seamlessly bringing the outdoors inside. Though compact, this space feels expansive due to the clever play of design and strategic lighting. A chandelier, ingeniously crafted from raw tree bark, dangles above the dining table like a natural installation, casting delicate shadows that mimic sunlight filtering through forest leaves. The dining table itself, crafted from teak wood, anchors the room with history and purpose, embodying the Jindals’ commitment to sustainability.
A Legacy in Design



Amina Bhatia’s refined attention to detail breathes life into every corner of The Jindal Residence, from antique brass accents and handwoven rugs to artisanal ceramics that seamlessly blend form and function. Carefully chosen accessories, books, and coffee tables infuse the home with layers of the family’s rich narrative. As the final brushstroke on a masterpiece, Amina ensures that The Jindal Residence not only honors the Jindals’ storied past but also embraces the boundless possibilities of the future, creating a space that feels timeless and alive.
