While traversing across Kerala, the designers stumbled upon the prabha in the famous bell metal centres of Nadavaramba. This recurring ritualistic object is typically a mirror fitted faceted flower shaped brass structure. They help create a halo when placed behind divine statues with a light source in the middle. The lights are contemporary interpretations of this local Kerala artefact. The prabhas have been handcrafted in brass and plated to create a mirror effect. To maintain
the traditional narrative, the Kerala style of mural paintings have been hand painted and transferred on to glass. |
