In a momentous event that highlighted India’s rich heritage and artistic journey, Mr. Prithviraj Kothari, Managing Director of RiddiSiddhi Bullions Limited (RSBL) and the National President of Indian Bullion Jewellers Association (IBJA), inaugurated the Golden Wheel of Time at the historic Zaveri Bazaar. This magnificent ring sculpture, meticulously forged from iron and gold, serves as an ode to Bharat’s kal chakra (wheel of time), symbolizing transformation and resilience through the ages.
The Golden Wheel of Time stands as a testament to Bharat’s enduring legacy and the evolution of its artistry. The union of iron and gold, combined with intricate etchings and diverse textures, narrates a story of transformation from raw to refined splendor. The sculpture signifies continuity, bridging the nation’s illustrious past to a gleaming future, and calling on all to rise brighter and stronger as the eternal sone ki chidiya (golden bird) takes flight once again. RSBL takes pride in maintaining this symbol of progress and unity.
Mr. Prithviraj Kothari has stated that, “The Golden Wheel of Time is not just a symbol but a reminder of our shared journey—from our rich past to the promise of a golden future. It embodies the spirit of transformation and resilience that defines Bharat. May it inspire us all to keep moving forward, embracing our legacy while striving for progress.”
Mr. Kothari’s Vision and Legacy
Mr. Prithviraj Kothari, a distinguished leader in the gold, silver, and platinum bullion industry, is often recognized as the “Bullion King of India.” A commerce graduate from Mumbai University, he has dedicated over three decades to the family business of gold trading.
