Vyaghra | The Tiger

From deep dense forests to royal insignias, the tiger has long embodied a force both revered and feared — protector and destroyer, sovereign and wild. In mythology, it is the vehicle of gods and goddesses, as a symbol of divine energy and fearless power. In folklore, it is admired for its feral courage, a guardian of the forest and an emblem of vitality. Across centuries, it has stood as a mark of kingship and sovereignty, its regal presence entwined with both reverence and awe.

In our studio, the tiger takes on a new form — as a console. Strong, and assured, stately and benign, its sculptural form holds a hidden story within its chest: the Panchatantra fable of The Tiger and the Hare. A tale where wit outmaneuvers brute strength, it reminds us that cleverness and resolve often triumph over sheer force.

Crafted in brass through a union of hollowed joinery and intricate repoussé, the tiger console carries within it this dual essence — powerful and protective, commanding and composed. It is strength and wisdom manifested, held in form, material and storytelling.
