The Serene Embodiment of Lord Shiva

This magnificent idol, sculpted from the purest Super White Vietnam Marble, presents a captivating depiction of Lord Shiva, the Mahadeva, the supreme being in Shaivism. The ethereal white marble, known for its luminosity and fine grain, lends a divine aura to the deity, making it a truly awe-inspiring centerpiece for any sacred space or collection. The artist's masterful skill is evident in every curve and contour, bringing to life the serene yet potent presence of Lord Shiva.

Iconography and Divine Attributes

Lord Shiva is portrayed in a seated posture of profound meditation, radiating peace and inner strength. His form is adorned with characteristic divine symbols. The Trishul, or trident, held aloft in one hand, represents the three fundamental aspects of consciousness: creation, preservation, and destruction. It is a potent symbol of Shiva's power to overcome ignorance and chaos. In another hand, he holds the Damru, a small two-headed drum, whose rhythmic beat is said to be the primal sound of creation, the Nada Brahma. The Kamandal, a water pot, signifies detachment from worldly desires and the ascetic nature of the divine ascetic. The presence of the sacred Ganga flowing from his matted locks and the serpent coiled around his neck further accentuate his cosmic significance, representing his power over life and death, and his ability to contain the immense energies of the universe. The serene expression, the third eye etched onto his forehead, and the gentle smile speak volumes about his all-encompassing compassion and wisdom. ––––––––––––––––––––
