With closed eyes, elongated earlobes, flowing monastic robes, and a radiant halo, the figure is presented with graceful simplicity, while a lotus blossom anchors the composition as a symbol of spiritual awakening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1244\" data-end=\"1719\"\u003eInspired by the rock-cut cave monasteries of western India, the composition reflects the ideals of contemplation, detachment, and inner discipline that have shaped India's spiritual traditions for centuries. The elongated earlobes symbolise the renunciation of worldly attachments, while the lotus represents purity, wisdom, and the gradual unfolding of enlightenment. Together, these enduring symbols express a quiet journey towards self-realisation and lasting inner peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"2211\"\u003eThrough the principles of Indo-Bauhaus design, the fluid forms of ancient sculpture are reinterpreted through harmonious geometry and balanced composition. Circular halos, structured planes, and simplified architectural forms create a contemporary visual language that honours India's monastic heritage. A restrained palette of sandstone, ochre, charcoal, and muted terracotta recalls the natural tones of ancient cave sanctuaries, bringing together timeless spirituality and modern design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisclaimer: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe frames shown are for display purposes only and are\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003enot included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewith the artwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs these are made-to-order designer pieces, expect minor \u003cstrong\u003ecolour variations\u003c\/strong\u003e from the displayed artwork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brahm Collection","offers":[{"title":"24 x 36 inches","offer_id":45306143080471,"sku":null,"price":282.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/7711\/9511\/files\/Shanta_Dhyana.png?v=1784146335","url":"https:\/\/www.brahmcollection.com\/products\/indo-bauhaus-shanta-dhyana-abstraction-of-the-meditative-ascetic","provider":"Brahm Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
