Amid foliage, monkeys bear bows, flags, instruments and rockets, blending festivity with martial intent; the forest thus becomes both a site of delight and a reminder of the forces shaping the tale. https://media.assettype.com/homegrown/2026-10-09/ltxss81s/Wings-and-Tales-Vikram-Goyal-Studio-04-Photo-CreditAli-Monis-Naqvi.jpg From the Ramayana’s enchanted waters arises the Makara — part crocodile, part imagined beast — guardian of sacred rivers and forests. The collection situates this ancient figure in a playful Vanara universe: monkeys bearing trumpets, rockets and boats, moving freely between land and water. The Vishrama Makara stool invites repose; ‘Vishrama’ (rest) marks a contemplative pause in the epic. Here, the monkeys’ exuberance is stilled in a dreamlike tableau, capturing quiet wonder as myth momentarily rests. https://media.assettype.com/homegrown/2026-10-09/1r6jyoru/Wings-and-Tales-Vikram-Goyal-Studio-07-Photo-CreditAli-Monis-Naqvi.jpg Inspired by the Ramayana’s Madhuvana, Bagh mirrors the honey forest’s vitality and hidden forces. Like Wings and Tales, its gardens are living realms where beauty, pleasure and unpredictability merge. Flowing forms and intricate detail evoke luxuriant growth, while the sculptural language conveys the tension between creation and destruction. Bagh fuses nature, craft and myth into a contemporary, dreamlike harmony.
