The mastery of the sculptor is seen in the deep symbolism and intricate filigree work that is derived from an ancient Indian temple art form, known to few.

Lord Shiva is the Lord of mercy and compassion who protects devotees from evil and enforces Law and order on earth. He is known as the "Giver" who grants boons and awakens wisdom in His worshippers.

Lord Shiva is portrayed in the classic stance of repose, sitting on his celestial throne of rocks on Mount Kailasa. His matted hair that holds the flowing Ganges river is adorned with a crescent moon. Being the Master of Yoga, the matted locks convey the idea that the integration of physical, mental and spiritual energies is the true essence of yoga. The crescent moon symbolises the time cycle through which creation evolves. In his hands, he holds an elephant goad signifying self-mastery and a trishul that destroys negative forces. His right hand is held in the abhaya mudra of fearlessness and protection. The snake (Vasuki Naga) curled three times around the Lord’s neck represents the past,present and future, but indicates that the Lord Himself transcends Time.

The Shiva art gallery has, for long been a favourite of wholesale Handicraft & art dealers as well as exporters. As you browse through the antique stores on-line, you will be sure to stumble across an exotic idol of this revered Hindu god. A hot favourite of interior decorators and vastu designers for offices and homes…..the whitewood Shiva sculpture makes a wonderful home décor accessory; can be used to accentuate the ambience of an office reception area and can even make a great corporate gift.

Care: Keep indoors. Lightly dust the figurine as required. We recommend the use of a mild wood cleaner on a swab of cotton wool.
