The kamandalu is more than a vessel—it is a spiritual form, carrying centuries of meaning within Indian mythology. In these works, terracotta embodies purity, the earth’s origin, and the timeless link between human devotion and the divine. Lines, dots, ridges, and textures echo the cadence of chants and the heartbeat of pilgrimage. Their varied forms evoke the bustling akhada of the Kumbh Mela, where multitudes gather in shared spiritual pursuit. Each piece is distinct, yet part of a greater whole. Together, they form a landscape of devotion, a metaphor for humanity’s enduring quest for the sacred through unity in diversity.
