Shiva also known as Rudra (the "Feared One") or "'The Destroyer"', is a major Hindu god and one aspect of Trimurti. In the Shaiva tradition of Hinduism, Shiva is seen as the Supreme God. Here Lord Shiva is standing on the lotus and this figurine is elegantly carved using the finest, seasoned Rosewood from the forest of Karnataka by the expert & skilled Artisans.
The beauty and elegance of the figurine lies in the fine details & the intricate filigree work on the rich golden grains of rose wood.
The actual image of Shiva is also distinct from other deities: his hair piled high on the top of his head, with a crescent moon tucked into it and the river Ganges tumbling from his hairs. Around his neck is a coiled serpent representing Kundalini or the spiritual energy within life. He holds a trident in his hand in which is bound the 'damroo' (small leather drum). He wears the 'Rudraksha' beads and his whole body is smeared with ash.
Lord Shiva is known to be the God of Destruction. Shiva is believed to be one among three main Gods in Hindu Mythology namely: Lord Brahma: Who Creates the Universe, Lord Vishnu: Who maintains the Universe & Lord Shiva: Who destroys the Universe for the new creation.
