Welcome to Queen of Treasures
If the digital world feels a little too loud, you’ve reached the right place. We help you settle down, relax, reflect and reroute. Switch on your Tortoise Mode because slow and steady wins the race. Slow means more attentiveness and thereby more productivity.
Queen of Treasures is an independent cultural magazine shaped by journalism, travel, storytelling and a lifelong curiosity about people and the world. I call it Slow Journalism: stories and ideas that invite you to pause, look closer and think beyond the headline.
Meet the founder and editor Ambica Gulati. My work has evolved over more than two decades, from journalism and editing to travel writing, photography, books and multimedia storytelling.
Queen of Treasures maps the changing world. Our focus: People · Places · Perspectives
With this at the heart of my work, I have divided it into four pillars:
1. Travel & Photography: Journeys, heritage, landscapes and places remembered through a journalist’s eye. Discover destination collections, along with stories from India and beyond.
Enter the Traveller’s Paradise
2, Culture & Affairs: Politics, society, cinema, literature and cultural change, explored beyond the 24-hour news cycle.
3. Wellness & Intuition: Reflections on slow living, mindfulness, creativity and the art of paying attention.
Ancient wisdom, Modern mindfulness
4. Media & Resources: The Free Library, Podcasts, Video Features.
Whether you are a conscious traveller, a global observer, mindful soul or a liberal arts and media enthusiast, take your time, explore, navigate and settle down to read because treasures take time to emerge.
