Image of meditative Buddha (Mr. Chiranjeevi’s (actor) residence) – executed in rough granite- the banglore and mysore varieties. Approximate size 45’x12’, completed in jul 2002.

The brief is to design a mural on the southwest wall and to make it more functional - the concept is to depict an image of Buddha in meditation, supported by the idea of oneness-i.e., integrating the natural elements of light, air and plant material into the stone mural.

The segmental arch around the Buddha is supposed to be the section of a stupa and as the Buddha’s relics were usually buried under the stupa, the Buddha’s form in the mural is supposed to be the image evoked.

Square pieces of non-reflective glass have been embedded into the stone and the various hues of the setting sun are reinforced in the Glass pieces as they are placed on the western side and as the angular punctured holes/ openings in the wall on either side of the Buddha let fresh breeze towards the center.
