An Ode to Indigenous Arts of India at T3
Welcome to Terminal 3, a gateway where every step is an immersion into India’s rich cultural legacy. From the moment you enter, T3 celebrates indigenous art through captivating sculptures and installations that echo traditions and history
Domestic Departure
The Elephant Sculpture & Surya Namaskar
Majestic Elephant Sculpture
Situated near the domestic departure zone, a life-size mother elephant and calf, crafted by skilled Indian sculptors, welcomes travelers—symbolizing strength and nurturing aspects of Indian heritage.
Surya Namaskar Installation
Nearby, marvel at the 12‑foot brass and copper sculpture illustrating the complete Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) sequence—12 yoga poses promoting wellness and balance. It reflects T3’s vision of reconnecting travelers with ancient wellness traditions.
International Departure: Statue of the Sun God
At the International departure lounge stands a grand bronze statue of Surya, the Sun God, measuring about 12 feet tall. This powerful yet serene figure represents the cycle of time and universal energy. Created with brass and copper by Satish Gupta, its Chola-style inspirations reflect India’s timeless craftsmanship.
International & Domestic Arrival: The Canyon Wall of Mudras
Stretching over 240 meters, this stunning Canyon Wall features nine large fibreglass plus spun‑copper hand sculptures (mudras), mounted among 675 copper discs. Designed by Ayush Kasliwal’s team at Incubis and Landor, the wall celebrates the universal “language” of hand gestures found in dance, yoga, and visual arts—symbolizing spiritual communication, expression and connectivity.
The mudras depicted include Abhaya, Vrada, Akasha, Mayur, Chatura, Tripataka, Prana, Trishul and Pranayama, each invoking a unique meaning and energy.
