Established in 1938, The Jewellers Association Bangalore is one of India's oldest and most respected jewellery trade bodies. The association has a thriving community of over 1,200 members, representing small, medium and large jewellery businesses. Built on a legacy of strong leadership, industry service and commitment to the trade, the association continues to play a pivotal role in supporting the growth, development and advancement of the jewellery sector.
Serving as the official industry partner for the Deities Design Awards (DDA), The Jewellers Association Bengaluru is instrumental in driving sectoral involvement and commitment.

Located in the heart of Mumbai, ISKCON Chowpatty is one of India's most respected spiritual and cultural institutions. Home to Sri Sri Radha Gopinath, the temple has grown from humble beginnings into a vibrant center for devotion, education, community service and cultural preservation. Renowned for its dedication to spiritual excellence and heritage, it has inspired generations through its teachings, outreach initiatives and commitment to devotional traditions.
As the inaugural host and spiritual partner for the Deities Design Awards (DDA), ISKCON Chowpatty establishes the platform's spiritual core. By facilitating the ceremonial presentation of selected designs, the temple reinforces the DDA's mission to honor sacred jewellery. This partnership integrates these artistic contributions into a living tradition of craftsmanship, cultural legacy and devotion. Winning pieces will be donated to the permanent temple collection, where they will be used for the shringar (adornment) of the deities.
