5 little monkeys sitting on a ladder; "Tamasha", an installation by N S Harsha

Displayed next to 75 other works by the artist in a retrospective called “Charming Journey”

"Tamasha" makes us recall Hanuman Langur*, which served as the model for the popular monkey god Hanuman that appears in the Ramayana. However in reality, the inspiration for N.S. Harsha came from a lonely monkey sitting on a drainpipe watching the construction of Harha's new studio. At the same time, it refers to the European myth called Ratking phenomena, which somehow the group of rats have their tails mingles and caught up each other.
