DESIGN BRIEF: forest-scatter symmetry for forest-life play — not hunting bow scene, not chauk wedding square, not horizontal harvest band. Monkey troop in Jawhar grammar means scattered circle-canopy trees with animals at varied scale and activity — the way rice-paste walls showed forest neighbours sharing village margins before agriculture dominated every wall. Forest-scatter lets monkeys climb, hang, leap, and perch without forcing a central ritual geometry or tarpa dance ring. What we refused: perspective depth, realistic primate anatomy, concentric dance spiral, chauk central. What we kept legible: curled tail line on every monkey, mid-air leap between trees, hanging figure from top branch, seated thinker on central mound, dot-cluster branch crowns, grass tufts grounding the lower register. Light density (~44% fill) preserves Sahyadri forest air between trees — empty ochre is canopy sky, not blank wall.
