The Statue showcases a detailed and serene depiction of Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. The statue portrays Shiva seated in a meditative pose, signifying his role as the supreme ascetic and the embodiment of inner peace and detachment. He is seated on a tiger-skin mat, symbolizing his mastery over primal instincts and fearsome energy. The calm expression on his face reflects his transcendental state of mind.
Shiva’s hair is styled in his signature matted locks (jata), adorned with the crescent moon, a symbolic representation of the cyclical nature of time, and the Ganga river, flowing from his hair to signify purification and sustenance. Around his neck is a coiled snake, representing eternal energy and fearlessness, while the rudraksha beads emphasize spiritual power.
To the left of the statue stands a golden trident (trishul), a weapon that represents Shiva’s power over creation, preservation, and destruction. Beside it is a kamandalu (water pot), an ascetic’s essential item, further emphasizing his detachment from worldly possessions.
To the right is Nandi, the sacred bull and Shiva’s loyal vehicle, depicted sitting peacefully on a green platform. Nandi symbolizes strength, devotion, and unwavering loyalty. The overall composition of the statue exudes divinity, balance, and the harmony of cosmic forces, with intricate detailing on every element to highlight Shiva’s multifaceted nature as a destroyer, protector, and spiritual guide.
