Hello Friends,
The Taj Khazana lifestyle boutique at the Taj Hotels in Chennai is one of the hidden treasures of the restaurant chain. Taj Khazana is a luxury lifestyle store available in select Taj Hotels across India. Actually the word Khazana means treasure, and these lifestyle stores exude richness, splendour and elegance. It is best described as stores that offer desi fashion with global appeal. Ethnic, sophisticated, handmade, aesthetic with a wide array of textiles, handicrafts and jewellery, it is a pleasure to shop here. Better still, window shopping here is pure delight.
Keep in mind that you are shopping at a five star boutique, so needless to mention prices are pretty exorbitant. But, if you don’t mind the hole in your pocket for a breathtaking Lord Ganesha who is lounging lazily, then go for it. The store has been done up very tastefully to reflect the Chennai city highlights. As you can see below in the picture, the entire section of the trial room unit has been decorated with coconut shells giving it a unique touch. Each Khazana boutique reflects the local flavor of the city very appropriately.

The spacious store offers Saris, crafts, shawls and stoles, home accessories, paintings and other accessories such as bags and belts. The merchandise on display is the work of the local craftsmen and from across the countries, thus giving these artisans and weavers an opportunity to showcase their craft and obtain monetary benefits as well.
