Custom Parade Floats and Sculptural Art
I bring big ideas to the streets with custom parade floats and sculptures. From temple designs to wildlife scenes, I turn blocks of styrofoam into stories that move.
This float, featuring a sage before a temple, is one of my proudest creations. I designed it for a major festival parade, focusing on the intricate details of the temple structure and the peaceful expression of the sage to create a powerful, moving spectacle.
Art can also carry an important message. For this float, I created a scene about water conservation and farming, with a giant golden tap as the centerpiece to grab attention and make people think about this vital resource.
I love bringing the power of nature to life. This large-scale sculpture shows a tiger and a deer by a waterfall, all carved and painted to look as realistic as possible. It's a great example of how I create dynamic wildlife scenes for exhibitions and events.
This float was a special project I did for the Kolar Zilla Panchayat. The design is centered around a large, bold Shiva Lingam, complete with a Trishula and the Om symbol, to create a strong statement of faith and culture.
Come see how the magic happens. This video shows my team and me at work in our studio, turning simple blocks of styrofoam into detailed sculptures and bringing big ideas to life with our hands.
For the Mandya Zilla Panchayat, I designed this float with a serene goddess figure surrounded by lush greenery and birds. The goal was to create a beautiful and calm scene that celebrates nature and divinity.
There is nothing like seeing one of my completed floats moving through the streets at night. This photo captures the atmosphere of a festival parade, with the lights and the crowd making the art feel truly alive.
About Featured
When you look at these floats, you see art, but behind the scenes, it is serious engineering. We use high-density EPS foam with internal steel skeletons for every structure. This means the 10-foot temple replicas or giant animal sculptures stay rigid and weather-resistant throughout the entire parade, even when things get crowded and the float is moving.
How We Build Your Vision
My team and I do not just put paint on foam. We start with large EPS blocks and carve every detail by hand. Whether it is a deity figure or a rural scene, we build an MS (Mild Steel) skeleton inside to keep everything standing upright, even on a moving truck. Once the shape is carved, we apply a hard shell binder to smooth it out, then use weather-resistant acrylics that pop even at night.
Parade and Festival Projects
I have worked with Zilla Panchayats in Kolar and Mandya to create floats for major parades. My goal is to make sure your theme is visible from far away. We handle everything from the 10ft centerpiece—like a Shiva Lingam or a nature scene—to the smaller supporting figures, faux waterfalls, and landscaping that hides the vehicle wheels. We also accompany the float during the parade to handle any emergency repairs, so you do not have to worry about the tech while the parade is running.
Practical Details
- Logistics: You will need to provide the truck or lorry for the float. We provide the design, the fabrication, the set, and the installation.
- Power: Please note that we do not include generator sets or lighting rigs, so you will need to arrange for those separately.
- Design: We always start with a custom sketch so you know exactly what you are getting before we cut into the foam.
Whether you need a massive sculpture for an exhibition or a full parade float, I am here to help you get it done right.
