Vahana - Custom Playing Cards

Vahana is a custom playing card deck inspired by Hindu mythology and the symbolic relationship between deities and their divine animal companions, known as “Vahanas.” Rooted in cultural storytelling, the deck features 12 original illustrations representing different Vahanas across the face cards. In addition to the illustrations, the suits were fully customized to create a cohesive and immersive identity for the deck. Blending storytelling, symbolism, and detailed illustration, the project explores how traditional cultural stories can be translated into a interactive design experience.
