This piece reimagines the Khadau—wooden footwear honored in Indian mythology as a sign of humility, devotion, and ascetic discipline—by merging traditional essence with a modern artistic voice. The dark matte surface recalls the grounding force of the Earth, while finely carved patterns suggest divine energy coursing through each step. Accents of gold lustre evoke sanctity and the celestial reverence once granted to mythic figures, transforming a utilitarian object into a mark of spiritual authority. Mythology here is not a relic of the past but a renewed presence, inspiring viewers to walk with intention, balancing the weight of heritage with the light of reverence.
