About this work
A brass mural at the central foyer of India's new Parliament, depicting the churning of the ocean from the Puranas.
Technique
Hand-sculpted relief, cast in brass, with every deva and asura figure individually modelled for movement and expression.
Surface & finish
Polished brass, catching light across the full 80-foot span of the foyer wall.
Artistic background
“A wall can argue for cooperation without a single word. At the heart of the Parliament, I wanted mythology and modern governance to speak to each other.”
