I took this picture 2 month ago in Mumbai airport just one week after the terrible attacks in the city. I really like the lightness of the design. It uses lots of whitet space and a very decent and subtle color palette excluding black. The mandala-symbols used on the right and left side of it give it the necessary cultural indian touch but neverthelss it feels quite international.
They seem to use these designs with citations from different known Indians such as Mahatma Gandhi throughout the whole airport so there is a strong feeling of consistency. It was developed by the Argentinian design studio Steinbranding, who also worked on Ezeiza Airport in Buenos Aires and Yerevan’s Zvartnots Airport.
Well done guys.

I found these flying Buddha silhouettes at the chilling lounge very funny.
The quotes are well designed but I think they are a little out of place inside the otherwise undesigned environment.
So, one of these elements is inconsistent!
