DESIGN BRIEF: tarpa-circle ritual-dance — this is one of only two tarpa entries in the catalog, so the brief demanded ritual truth: musician at centre, single ring of linked dancers who never turn their backs, sparse trees at margin. Tarpa-circle symmetry means one concentric dance ring — not double rings, not harvest procession, not chauk marriage square. What we refused: second concentric ring, spiral geometry, standing figures breaking the link, photoreal trumpet anatomy. What we kept legible: central tarpa player with instrument line, eight to ten joined dancer triangles, outward-facing circle heads, hut squares anchoring village context. Light-mid density (~50% fill) lets ochre breathe between dancers so the ring reads as communal rhythm, not solid white mass.
