Signify
transformed
the
Viman
Mandapam,
a
sacred
structure
at
the
heart
of
the
Kumbh
Mela,
into
a
breathtaking
spectacle
of
light
and
color
with

linear
grazers
and
flood
lights,
creating
a
layered
lighting
design
that
accentuates
its
architectural
beauty,
achieving
a
volumetric
illumination.
While
the
installation
presented
unique
challenges,
including
working
at
height,
navigating
intricate
carvings,
and
minimizing
drilling
to
preserve
the
structural
integrity
of
the
Mandapam,
the
multi-layered
lighting
approach
allowed
for
dynamic
control,
creating
an
immersive
and
spectacular
lighting
experience
for
devotees.

highlights
both

of
the

creating
a
