Typeface suggestion? Unique but classic serif small caps

I had chosen Sovereign as the typeface for a logo I’m designing for a modern, slightly indian themed gift shop. The problem is when using small caps, the typeface looses it’s unique calligraphic style. Does anyone have a recommendation for a similar (or not) typeface that maintains a unique quality in small caps, although I guess small caps are not mandatory if someone has another great suggestion. Also, I plan on using the type on a slight arc. Thanks so much.

I like Briem Script MM. Good looking small caps and figs

The Indian theme could be sans serif as a contrast but if you must try Brioso for the classic serif small caps.

Adobe Brioso Pro is an oldstyle serif face with a calligraphic look

You should really try to tap into the Indian angle.
Brioso, and Rialto, are great fonts, but too Western.

Dalliance is quite popular - if overused - for Indian/Eastern themed design.
