Yugala: The Divine Duo
$1,450
Traditional depictions of Shiva focus more on his destructive side as immortalized in the Hindu epics. However, traditional craftsmen have been known to also create beautiful works of art showcasing the softer, family side of the fiery God of destruction. This intricately carved sandstone sculpture of Shiva and his consort Parvathi showcases Shiva's other side as a householder, while also retaining typical elements of iconography including his Third Eye, Vasuki, the snake, coiled around his neck, the crescent moon adorning him as the river Ganga flows from his matted locks. The adroit craftsmanship captures the Lord and the Goddess enjoying a moment of togetherness, of bonding, a moment of leisure and serenity and immortalizes it in this masterpiece of a sculpture.
