2027 Pirelli Calendar Completed in India by Raghu Rai’s Daughter After His Passing
The 2027 Pirelli Calendar, for the first time shot entirely in India, showcases the country's diverse people and landscapes through the vision of late photographer Raghu Rai, completed by his daughter Avani Rai after his death in April 2026. Originally planned as a studio shoot, Avani shifted the project outdoors to locations her father had long documented, blending his archival images with contemporary scenes. Featuring Indian-origin celebrities, the calendar marks a departure from Pirelli's traditional studio glamour to a more intimate, street-level portrayal of India.
