Three lives. One unfolding world.

Three lives. One unfolding world.

Different roots.
A shared journey.

Laija, Rudra and Hanumanthu are Anime Devta’s original fictional characters and in-house models, created by AD Studio Kashi. A rapper from Shillong, a musician from Himachal and an aspiring filmmaker from Hyderabad, they meet in Kashi through a shared creative project.

Music brings them together. Friendship gives them room to disagree, discover and grow. Each finds a different connection with Sanatan Dharma: through questions, through devotion and through action.

Today, you’ll see them in our collections and campaigns. Their unfolding world could take them into manga, films, animation, music and stories created with collaborators.

LaijaShillong · Rapper & lyricistIndependent spirit. A questioning mind.

Where she comes from.

Shillong is home. Rooted in Meghalaya, with Khasi and Pnar cultural influences, Laija is 24. She speaks Khasi, is comfortable with Pnar and fluent in English. Her conversational Hindi grows with her time in Kashi.

What she loves.

Writing lyrics, experimenting with beats and catching ideas in voice notes. Oversized streetwear, long walks, strong tea and late creative evenings are part of her rhythm. She watches before joining in, then comes alive when the conversation turns to music.

What she pushes back against.

Being reduced to her appearance or where she comes from. She values independence so deeply that she sometimes mistakes help for control. Her dry humour comes with fierce loyalty to the people she trusts.

Her connection to Sanatan Dharma.

Her doorway is inquiry. A verse, symbol or story catches her attention because it challenges an assumption or speaks to her experience. Shakti, courage and self-knowledge give her ideas to explore on her own terms.

How she sees it.

A space for questions and discovery. Her journey explores how spiritual growth and belonging can deepen her independence.

Look for the burgundy streaks, silver nose ring and battered lyric notebook.
RudraHimachal · Singer & guitaristQuiet strength. Devotion in everyday life.

Where he comes from.

Rudra, 26, grew up in the Bilaspur region of Himachal Pradesh. His mother tongue is Bilaspuri, a regional Himachali/Pahari variety. He speaks fluent Hindi and functional English.

What he loves.

Devotional folk music, his well-used guitar and finding contemporary arrangements for familiar sounds. Early mornings, treks, regular practice and cooking for friends ground him. He enjoys dal-chawal, rajma, Himachali dham and a cup of chai.

What he follows.

A vegetarian, substance-free life, with regular music practice and physical discipline. Patient and attentive, he brings warmth, understated humour and steadiness to the group.

What comes less easily.

Admitting when he needs help. Rudra takes on other people’s burdens and worries about failing those who rely on him. Learning to receive support is part of his story.

His connection to Sanatan Dharma.

Shiva bhakti is already part of daily life. It finds expression in music, remembrance, discipline and kindness. He takes questions seriously and is comfortable admitting what he does not know.

How he sees it.

A practice to live through everyday choices and responsibilities. His journey asks how devotion becomes care for others, while leaving room to care for himself.

Look for the long jata, rudraksha beads and guitar with a repaired strap.
HanumanthuHyderabad · Aspiring filmmakerA generous heart. Always ready to move.

Where he comes from.

Hyderabad-born Hanumanthu is 24, with a Telugu-speaking upbringing. He speaks fluent English and conversational Hindi with a natural Hyderabadi flavour. Telugu slips into his speech when he gets excited.

What he loves.

Filmmaking, editing, action choreography and seeing what a camera can do. Martial arts, running and discovering food keep him moving. His phone is full of unfinished film ideas; his comfort food includes rice, mudda pappu and pulusu.

What he dislikes.

Bullying and betrayal bring out his serious side. Beneath the playfulness is a fear of being liked without being taken seriously. He practises for hours, even when the result looks effortless.

His connection to Sanatan Dharma.

His doorway is seva. He helps before he has a philosophical explanation for helping. Hanuman’s strength, humility, devotion and remembered potential gradually become meaningful to him.

How he sees it.

Something discovered through action, service and finding the courage to use his abilities. His journey is learning to pair that courage with judgement.

Look for the tousled curls, small gada pendant and a camera close at hand.
