Rao
The Temple Lion

Rao is the mythic guardian spirit at the heart of Temple Lion Studios, a symbol of creation, courage, and imagination. Inspired by ancient temple lions said to protect sacred spaces, Rao represents the belief that creativity itself is something powerful and worth safeguarding.

More than a mascot, Rao embodies the studio’s philosophy: that stories can awaken wonder, connection, and meaning. He stands as a quiet protector of every universe we build, watching over worlds born from curiosity and care.

In the spirit of Rao, Temple Lion Studios approaches creation as both craft and calling, blending artistry with a sense of purpose. Every project carries a spark of that guardianship, an invitation to explore, feel, and imagine without limits.
