She represents a blend of heritage and modernity, much like her celebrated predecessor, Maharani Gayatri Devi. A graduate of New York University and an alumna of Mayo College, Gauravi was named brand ambassador for luxury footwear label Jimmy Choo last year.
But beyond the glitz, she is deeply committed to social upliftment. Through the Princess Diya Kumari Foundation (PDKF), she empowers Rajasthani women by providing them with economic independence through traditional crafts.
Gauravi Support to PDKF Store
Gauravi is co-founder of the PDKF Store, an initiative that highlights women artisans’ handcrafted products. The store not only focuses on Rajasthan’s rich heritage but also provides women with money to run their livelihoods.
