There is some exciting word-usage, image-captivity here:

"octagonal verandah...

Polished red oxide floor...

With tiger claws at it’s feet

Clasping a globe"

but I don't understand why you let it go later, and the rhyme-scheme again, why do chowk-poets think that a poem needs to rhyme? It is really not a necessity...let the thought come, and frame its insides. forget decorum!!

I look forward to seeing your next one...'octagonal verandah' nice.

In the nearest language, it always works.
