We briefed this around Hanuman's most beloved gesture — the moment he parts his own chest to prove that Rama and Sita live inside his heart, no jewel needed. A centred-frontal stance gives him the wide warrior lunge and the open chest dead-centre, the tiny seated figures of blue Rama and red-saried Sita glowing within the heart-shaped opening. The golden gada rests on his shoulder so the strength and the devotion read together. We kept him in saffron-orange with a layered red-and-gold dhoti and a tiered crown, his tail looping up behind, and left the ground plain so the revealed heart is the whole picture. Boneless shading rounds his powerful arms and the swell of his chest.
