Pune, June, 2026: Solitario unveiled its most spiritually inspired creation yet, the Divine India Collection, at an elegant evening that blended devotion, innovation, artistry and culture. Held in Pune and attended by a cross-section of the city’s cultural and social circles, the launch marked a notable milestone in Solitario’s journey and coincided with the birthday celebration of Founder & CEO, Ricky Vasandani.
The event’s emotional centrepiece was a soulful performance by Maithili Thakur and her Bhajan Party, whose devotional renditions and cherished Marathi bhajans resonated deeply with the audience. Their music set a reverent tone that complemented the unveiling of the collection, reinforcing the connection between music, ritual and visual devotion.
Solitario introduced the Divine India Collection through an immersive 3D presentation that highlighted a range of diamond-studded idols and sacred collectibles inspired by Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva, Lord Krishna, Lord Rama and Lord Hanuman. Each piece in the collection reflects a careful balance of traditional iconography and contemporary design, executed with the precision and polish synonymous with Solitario’s lab-grown diamond expertise.
The collection’s centrepiece—the Diamond Ganesha Murti—drew particular attention. This large-scale work of art, weighing eight kilograms, is set with 1,489 Solitario Signature Diamonds totalling 124 carats. Beyond its scale and sparkle, the piece was presented as an expression of devotional craftsmanship, created to capture both aesthetic grandeur and spiritual reverence. Guests admired the meticulous detailing and the way light and diamond cut enhance the form and features of the deity.
Alongside finished artworks, Solitario announced a bespoke service that allows devotees to enhance their personal idols with custom diamond adornments. This service is designed for those wishing to add lasting, tasteful accents to home temple murtis, festival idols or deities installed in offices and places of worship. Devotees can bring their idols to participating Solitario stores, where skilled artisans will design and fit diamond jewellery and ornaments that respect the sanctity and traditional proportions of each deity.
For collectors and devotees who seek flexibility, Solitario also offers removable diamond jewellery pieces that can be used to adorn idols during festivals and special occasions and then preserved or stored safely afterward. This option provides an elegant way to mark important moments without altering the original statue permanently, marrying modern practicality with devotional practice.
Ricky Vasandani, Founder & CEO, Solitario, commented on the initiative: “At Solitario, innovation has always been at the heart of everything we create. The Divine India Collection marks the beginning of a new chapter for us—one where devotion meets diamonds, tradition meets innovation, and timeless spirituality is celebrated through exceptional artistry.”
“Through this collection, we hope to offer meaningful expressions of faith crafted with care, reverence and fine craftsmanship,” he added, “while also bringing versatility to how these pieces can be cherished across festivals and special occasions. As spiritual gifting evolves, we believe this collection will resonate with those seeking to honour devotion in a thoughtful, enduring way.”
More than a product line, Divine India positions itself as a celebration of faith, artistry and cultural continuity. By combining lab-grown diamonds with skilled artisanal work, Solitario aims to present pieces that are both ethically considered and technically accomplished. The collection reflects the brand’s ongoing effort to expand how devotion can be expressed—through pieces that appeal to modern sensibilities while honoring traditional forms and rituals.
