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. The fabulous Shiva-Nandi statue is a glorious representative of classical Indian Handicrafts and is truly a work of art worth possessing.

Lord Shiva is the Lord of mercy and compassion who protects his devotees from evil and enforces Law and order on earth. He is portrayed standing majestically on Mount Kailasa. His vehicle is Nandi, the bull who symbolizes happiness and strength. Lord Shiva's use of the bull as a vehicle conveys the idea that He removes ignorance and bestows wisdom on His devotees. A beautifully bejeweled crown adorns His head. In his hands, he holds a drum (damaru) symbolizing Creation; an elephant god 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 and 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 decor 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.
