A conceptual wishing tree greets you as you enter the Victoria and Albert Museum. Kalpataru is an Indian mythical wish fulfilling tree. This one was made in Delhi by a group of artists. Inspiration for the piece comes from nature with trees and plants used in Indian rituals being represented, including the mayo tree, banana plant, champ flower, jack fruit and lotus plant. The parrot and bright yellow and orange make me think of sunshine.

I love this tree.
Didn't know about this Indian ritual.
So nice.
Wow, this is very pretty. I wish I was there to see it in person.
Great artistic work!
Very colourful!
That's a beautiful structure to represent a beautiful concept. I just wish that my Christmas tree would decorate itself!
Oh, that looks nice. I'm hoping to go to the V and A soon and I do not expect I will miss it.
