I bring the stories of our Aagri Koli heritage to life, turning your Navratri pandal into a vibrant, 360-degree coastal scene that feels like a living, breathing space.

The centerpiece of my Aagri Koli themed Navratri decoration. The murti of Ekvira Mauli is set against a backdrop depicting her temple, with the surrounding walls showing the life of the Koli community.

A section of the wall mural showing an Aagri Koli couple walking along the shore. The ceiling is painted like a cloudy sky, and the walls depict a continuous coastal scene, making the room feel like an open beach.

Another part of the 360-degree mural. This scene shows Koli women by their boats, selling fish. It's these details of daily life that bring the cultural theme alive and tell a story.

This part of the mural captures the community aspect of Aagri Koli life. I used vibrant colors to depict the traditional attire and the lively atmosphere of the seashore.

A view of the hand-painted sea and coastline that forms the base of the Navratri decoration. The waves were painted to look like they are flowing towards the Devi's idol.

This video shows how the painted ceiling with moving light effects creates the illusion of a dynamic sky over the coastal scene. It adds another layer of immersion to the Navratri pandal.

A behind-the-scenes look at how the Aagri Koli mural was created. Starting from a digital sketch on my tablet, I drew the outlines on the wall and then my team and I filled the entire room with color.

This video shows me painting details for a cultural installation. Here, I am adding a fish to the waves, a small but important element that represents the livelihood of the Aagri Koli community.

About Immersive Navratri & Cultural Art

You don't just get a backdrop; you get a live-painted environment. My team and I sketch the concept on my iPad first so you see the vision before we even pick up a brush. Once we start, we complete the entire mural in just 3 to 5 days, using a mix of large-brush work and spray guns to create high-contrast visuals that react beautifully to your RGB festival lighting.
