DESIGN BRIEF: the brief was the tree of life as the whole panel, so a single great tree rises from the foot and spreads its rounded boughs to fill most of the field, perched birds and a pair of peacocks at the crown, climbers threading the branches. We held the fill to medium and kept the fish-net frame open rather than a packed mesh, letting clear brick-red ground show through the gaps in the boughs so the tree breathes and the birds and climbers stay legible. The figures are the rounded, faceless, bent-knee Saura type — never Warli's joined triangles — and there is no perspective depth; the tree is a flat emblem, not a botanical study. The tree of life, with birds, animals and people gathered into one canopy, is among the most enduring motifs on Lanjia Saura inner walls, standing for fertility, shelter and the continuity of the village.
