“Nam Piratthiyar” or our Lady as described in old Tamil inscriptions, Uma-Parvati in the culture of Southern temples is a goddess revered and loved equally.
In her gracefully standing icon, Parvati is also called “Shivakami”, the beloved of Shiva, underlining her femininity that charms the ascetic god and brings him to the arena of Creation.
Uma-Parvati in this stunning bronze represents the perfection of a Tamil sculptor, who has blown life into metal.
A conical crown, two thin necklaces, Yajnopavita that creates a serpentine pattern on her torso, raised bosom, armlets, rings, a tapering waist, tasseled waistband, and a diaphanous dhoti, all gather to convey the transcendental allure of Uma.
With one hand dangling in Lolahasta and the other raised in Katakahasta to hold and offer a flower, smiling enchantingly, Uma is a balance of liveliness and poise like no other in the world of aesthetics.
