| Introduction |
Design Temple presents Animania, a vibrant and whimsical take on the Sacred Animals of India. It fuses the playful interpretations of 7 graphic artists from across the globe with a subject of much gravitas in Indian mythology.
In ancient India, animals were worshipped. Some were even deities. And others were vehicles or vahanas of deities. They were woven into 3000 year old fables, which along with mythological beliefs, kept alive the Indian traditions of veneration, kindness and ahimsa or non-violence towards all creatures.
The world, as we know, is not what it used to be and modern India is no exception. Although the association with Gods brought on respect and an automatic preservation of the animal world, rapid urbanization has brought on a degradation of our forests and natural habitats. And the animal population is dwindling to alarmingly low numbers.
Animania, is a visceral journey to rekindle our love for animals. And to create awareness that this will build that bridge between our mythological past and a brighter tommorrow.
So, rock your visual world and attain ecological nirvana! |
