• Theme: Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — One Earth, One Family

Earth Wall

The Earth Wall stands as one of the most profound and meaningful creations at Utsav Rock Garden — a monumental artistic tribute to the philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which means “The world is one family.” Spread across a vast expanse, this magnificent wall carries a universal message — that all living beings share equal rights to exist, thrive, and coexist peacefully on this planet. Through intricate sculptures and soulful artistry, it celebrates the harmony between humans, animals, plants, and divine forces of nature.

At the heart of this masterpiece lies the sculpture of Saalumarada Thimmakka, portrayed as she lovingly plants trees and nurtures them as her own children — symbolizing deep compassion and reverence for Mother Earth. Surrounding her, the wall comes alive with detailed depictions of insects, wild animals, trees, domestic creatures, and birds, representing the intricate web of life that sustains our world.

A major highlight of the Earth Wall is the Varaha Avatar scene, where Lord Vishnu is shown lifting and rescuing the Earth from demonic forces — a powerful metaphor for protecting the planet from destruction. Nearby stands the serene Touching Buddha, his hand upon the Earth, symbolizing his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and his connection to nature as the source of wisdom and peace.

The narrative continues with a graceful depiction of Lord Krishna as a humble shepherd amidst cows, embodying harmony with nature. Another remarkable segment showcases Lord Basavanna, whose teachings on humility and humanity — especially his profound saying “Daivavillada Dharma Yavudayya” (There is no religion without compassion) — remind us that spirituality and nature are deeply intertwined.

The wall culminates with a breathtaking sculpture of Lord Hanuman carrying the globe, symbolizing that Mother Nature is essential for the survival of every being. This imagery, inspired by the Ramayana, beautifully captures the eternal bond between divinity and the natural world.

Created by over 80 skilled artists over a span of 24 months, the Earth Wall is more than a visual marvel — it is a spiritual, environmental, and cultural statement, urging humanity to honor, preserve, and coexist with the living planet that sustains us all.
