Dakshinmurthy Shiva is represented as the Adi Guru (the first Teacher), bestowing enlightenment via silence and guiding devotees to self-realization.

"Dakshinamurthy" means "the one who faces south," which depicts the path to enlightenment by conquering ignorance and darkness.

Carved from solid granite, the statue usually depicts him seated under a banyan tree, one leg folded over the other in virasana (heroic stance) and the other resting on a little demon or dwarf figure, indicating the defeat of ignorance.

His tranquil expression conveys his inner calm and mastery of global wisdom.

In his hands are sacred things such as scripture, fire, and his damru, which represent mastery over time, spiritual knowledge, and transformation.

Embodiment of Divine Knowledge and Serenity

This exquisite statue captures the divine essence of Lord Shiva in his form as Dakshinamurthy, the silent guru. Carved from a single, hard granite stone, this masterpiece stands as a testament to the enduring power of ancient artistry and profound spiritual symbolism. The cool, textured surface of the granite evokes the timelessness of the Himalayas, Lord Shiva's celestial abode, and imparts a sense of grounded serenity to the piece.

Dakshinamurthy: The Lord of Knowledge

In Hindu mythology, Dakshinamurthy is one of the most revered forms of Shiva, embodying his aspect as the ultimate teacher and bestower of knowledge. He is depicted seated in a meditative posture, symbolizing inner stillness and profound contemplation. His four arms signify his omnipotence and his ability to manifest in myriad ways. In this representation, his upper right hand may be seen raised in abhaya mudra, offering protection and dispelling fear, while the upper left hand holds a flame, symbolizing the destruction of ignorance and illusion. The lower right hand rests on his thigh, indicating composure and stability, and the lower left hand may be holding a serpent, representing the control over ego and primal desires, or pointing towards knowledge itself. The serene yet powerful gaze of Dakshinamurthy invites contemplation, encouraging devotees to seek inner wisdom and liberation. ––––––––––
