DESIGN BRIEF: the brief was the full paddy day — cutting, binding, carrying, threshing — and the cleanest way to hold all of it is the harvest-field-rows symmetry, which stacks the work in honest registers the way a hill field terraces. We drew the standing paddy as upright line-tufts so the bending harvesters with their sickles read instantly, then let the sheaves, the pot-carrying women, and the threshing band follow in clear rows. The fill stays medium-light so the deep-maroon ground shows between every band and the eye rests as much on the ground as on the work. We refused faces, refused colour, refused perspective depth and any tractor or signage; a conical haystack, a bullock cart and a humped cow close the harvest the way real Lanjia Saura field panels do in the Rayagada hills, with the customary sun, moon, horses and elephants opening the top.
