Cycle pure agarbatties: Lord Ganesha
In India, all Hindu prayers and religious functions start with the lighting of incense to invoke the gods. Further, in all Hindu homes and business establishments, a puja (prayer) is done at the start of each new day and incense is lit. Thus, Incense sold for religious purposes is the largest reason to buy in this segment.
So creating gods from cycle parts solved the marketing problem efficiently and simply. And the line when translated says, ‘God comes with cycle’ (roughly translated) completes the communication.

Nice work.
"stay low, move fast"
Doin' it for the points
guys ur only mixing two things....
sorry but not working.
Good work, Good art Direction, Have done lots of efforts, but even though the idea of creating an idol of god with cycle parts is a bit non digestable.
Anyhow its much better than the last campaign done by Mudra mumbai in which gods are driving cycle and coming, felt like insulting our hindu gods.
Anyhow nice work overall.
PLS DON'T KILL GODS 4 AWARDS!
You cannot kill gods who are already dead.

So you recently visited the ongoing Kalaghoda Festival and there u got this art, right?
For those who don't what is Kalaghoda Festival i'll tell them.
Every year, the Association hosts the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival for nine days in February.
Gallery and pavement shows, exhibitions, literary events, film screenings, music concerts, dance performances, theatre shows, workshops, heritage walks, a food fiesta, and a buzzing street festival bring in audiences and participants from all over the city.
haan tera baaap aaya tha banwane. Fucker itni jaldi koi statue banata hai kya. Man i really don't understand what kind of people visiting the site. So dumb. I really pity of you.
Abe ghanchakkar,
Mudra ka hi add mudra kaise copy karega idiot..
bakwasss.........
guys...the same statue is that the festival...that's the outdoor activity and on ground stuff you saw. it's the same piece...nothing is copied...these are real...not photoshoped
very old idea.
if u wanna show something thn make tht thing with the product name.
like if i want to show/write microsoft thn i`ll use diffent typs of windows.
what crap
why people forgt tht excution/art direction comes after the ideas.thn why thy guys think abt the old ideas.
better art direction cant protect your old ideas all the times.u should think sumthing else
execution/art direction used to come after ideas in 2002
but now its 2009 an idea can come to any1 a student can get a million $ idea but if he cant execute it he's done.
today execution counts more than an idea.

I'm going to call you "AXA-2 times" from now on.
Doin' it for the points
hahaha no im not d only 1 u can find many more comments which r double coz i ain't doing it purposely its some kind of a problem... i would just hit d save button once & even i can't understand y it gets doubled...
i knew some one might think im doing it purposely... i can't help it.
seriously good wrk, wen i 1st saw thm outside mudra it mde me wonder wht purpose cud thy serve, n today wen i saw these ads the picture is complete, fr me it ws complete twist, loved the work, every single detail, n fr people who say dnt use god's fr awards, wht bout UK n USA designers who put our very own Lakshmi n Saraswati on clothes, underwares n bras, whr r thy tryin to reach, do thy r we realize hw its hurting the mass crowd, wen required why r we shut, it is so simple to sit over here n comment on this wrk, bout using our gods, i feel those designers r thn exploiting our gods.
n besides tht its indian target audience, hw do u expect people to look at ur brand if not this way, thn wht way, shw actual product n bla bla shit is so fuckin cliched, evn a begginer in commercial arts will think bout it.
good wrk, good concept, keep it up guys
Thank god product name is not condom.....but nice art.
Fundu, Jhakas, chabuk, Phad dala re....
Keep it up...
Very good work VIJAY, very nice.....
I like it.
its teh best sculpture i've ever seen!!!! it rocks! and the ad is amazing...i cant imagine a regular person thinking of this....
Varun ... you are amazing man ... great job done
poooooooooooooor idea
nice execution!
This surely does not go with our culture......it offends the gods....
concept is good....but then hitting tthe culture in an unacceptable way does not do good for the product.........or does it??
really good ......................
one day i come 2 join u guys ........................
keep this nice work ..................

Ha yar ye to pura concept jayram Gopale mera friend ek ka hay yar mudra or uske team se ye umid nahi thi..... cycle pe ganesha chori gaya...
This concept was originally suggested by Jayram Gopale(+91 9987536373/www.jayramgopale.com).
He had presented all the sketches to the team along with the quotation.
The team had promised to give him the credit. But they kept him in dark and executed separately from their end without informing Jayram.
Its a mere cheating and injustice to him and his creativity has bee stolen. This was not expected from a company like Mudra and team. Very Sad.
I protest for Jayram for this.
Jayram must get justice. Please support.

thts very bad...yaar Awards mile tab kuch tho credit dena chahiye tha...i have seen his work in Kala Ghoda Fest and IIT, Bombay. His work is brilliant....Aur usne mujhe uska work bhi batya tha...which he disccused with Mudra's Varun also...
Varun creative ka name khrab kiya tuna....
tera jasa ka bajsa........creative pepole ka name khrab hota hai sube ko lagta hai ke creative people yha vaha sa utate ha.......hum loga sala itna soch soch ka kuch new banta hai..tera bajsa hmara bhi name khrab hota hai
varun tu chora haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
This is so sad guys. Jayram, you must get the real credit for your efforts. Its a shame on Mudra guys who did this injustice to Jayram..Protest Jayram...I am with you.
varun tu chor haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii tune khudke hato say apni takdir may likha hai..tu chor hai
Mudra communications organization has stolen the full concept of this cycle brand agarbatties from one of my friend Jayram the National Creative Director: Bobby Pawar, Creative Directors: Varun Mehta, Art Directors: Vivek Jadhav, Vijayanand M Kanakuntla has given there names for the credit who can he do this?
Mudra communications organization should give the clarification or accept there team has has stolen the full concept.
varun tu chor haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii tune khudke hato say apni takdir may likha hai..tu chor hai
This is an insult of Jayram and his creative sentiments
