Project ŚHESH- NĀG is a set of Environment designs in fantasy genre using 3D techniques for cinematic production. It aims to bring forward one of the less explored concepts in form of storytelling, inspired from ancient Hindu mythology of a cosmic serpent. It showcases a fictional journey of a character from current world to find Shesh-nag mountain, explore mysterious caves, find the crystal Lotus temple, awaken the 7 Chakras of his subtle human body and travel via magical portal to the Doors of the Netherworld (underwater world where lives the God of all serpents, Shesh-nag).
