    Warner Bros. Discovery unveils Shiva-inspired mural in Mumbai

    MUMBAI: Warner Bros. Discovery, in collaboration with Aravani Art Project & ting, has brought mythology to life through a striking artistic tribute. To celebrate the launch of Legends of Shiva with Amish on Discovery Channel India and discovery+, a bold Ardhanarishwara mural now adorns a Mumbai billboard, symbolising the balance of masculine and feminine energies.

    Created by the Aravani Art Project, a collective of transgender and non-binary artists, the mural represents identity beyond gender, echoing the themes explored in the series. Its creation was captured in a digital film by ting and ting studios, amplifying the message of self-expression and inclusion.

    Warner Bros. Discovery head of marketing south Asia Janhavi Vyas remarked, “India is a land of contrasts, and few figures embody this duality like Lord Shiva. He is both a recluse and a householder, a seamless blend of masculine and feminine. This initiative goes beyond just promotion it is a step towards inclusion, recognition, and celebrating diversity. At Warner Bros. Discovery, we are committed to fostering a world where every voice is heard and valued.”

    Ting partner Sudharshan Anandkumar added, “At ting, we craft stories that do more than just promote they spark conversations. Collaborating on Legends of Shiva with Amish allowed us to showcase mythology in a way that resonates with today’s world. The Ardhanarishwara mural is more than art, it is a symbol of balance and inclusivity. Through our digital film, we wanted to emphasise that mythology isn’t just history it is a living dialogue that continues to inspire.”

    This initiative goes beyond television, elevating unheard voices and reaffirming the timeless relevance of Shiva’s teachings in contemporary society.
