The marriage of Shiva
and Parvati, the most auspicious union in three realms, has been depicted in
Indian oral, literary, and creative traditions as the moment when the Srishti
experienced Shubhata or auspiciousness in all its glory.
Â
This wooden statue,
which was influenced by the depiction of Meenakshi-Kalyanam on the walls of
South Indian shrines, Meenakshi (Parvati) in the center of the composition,
symbolizing the centrality of Shakti in the sacred cosmology, with Shiva on her
left, taking her hand in marriage, from Vishnu. The heavenly beings hovering in
the upper section, the majestic Kirtimukha, and the serpent of Shiva emerging
from the tree in the foreground add a three-dimensional appeal to the wooden
artwork.
Â
Between the lotus base
for the divine marriage and the lower pedestal appear Brahma as the officiating
priest conducting the sacred ritual with the fire distinctively marked with
burning orange and yellow, adding an element of animation to the scene. Colors,
vivid and complementing add aesthetic beauty to every inch of the statue.
Padma or lotus, the
ancient symbol of auspiciousness, fertility, and the origin of the Universe in
Hindu thought makes an appearance through the composition- in the ornamentation
of the deities, as the pedestal they stand on, as the Yajna Kunda and the seat
of sages and Brahma, a fitting element in this visual story of the coming
together of Shiva-Shakti, which is the most auspicious and fecund moment in
three realms.
