The ram is not decoration or branding, it is a memory disguised as an emblem. A quiet animal that is also a watchman, of silence trampled by spectacle, of stories that refuse to disappear even when no one is listening. Therein lies its power, because stillness in these days is always suspect. To be unmoved is dangerous. The ram does not seek the spotlight, nor does it step aside. In a world consumed by speed, stillness is the most radical act.
The Gharial, prehistoric in appearance, symbolizes old intelligence concealed beneath the waters of modernity. Pushed to the brink of extinction by greed an hubris, it is not a boast of power but an epic of survival. In a culture obsessed with the visible, viral, and violent, the Gharial is shy and submerged. It quietly preserves the past, unfazed by the world looking the other way.
The Frog Prince is a classic story that questions the superficiality of beauty, because we perceive the frog to be ugly; awkward, like the truth. Frogs are things passed over, laughed at, flattened; like so many of us who are dismissed for what we carry outside in a world that only scrolls and swipes. If there is no desire for the mind to grasp inner value, when beauty becomes an algorithm and time a commodity, the frog stands no chance. Yet Sabyasachi casts it in gold; to make permanence of the rejected. The Frog is no longer waiting to be kissed. In its silent stillness, it watches the Princess as if to say, “What have you done to your gaze?”
It is a dragon, but also a fly. In that very tension between grandeur and gossamer, terror and mundane lies the indictment of our collective blindness. We have been trained to see power only when it declares itself with volume; to view fragility as weakness. The dragonfly reminds us that the most dangerous narratives are the ones we never question: that those who do not shout are powerless. The dragonfly is subversion with wings, a compact, precise predator that kills not to conquer but to survive. It does not scream or posture; in its quietness, it commits the most radical act: not becoming the monster we expect.
