Shambhavi: The Son of Parvati
$190
Lord Ganesha is said to have a very affectionate bonding with his mother Devi Parvati. It is she who brought him to life and the instance is when she went bathing and wanted an attendant to guard the doors. She thus made a little boy out of some turmeric paste and brought it to life. When Lord Shiva, angered by the little boy stopping him from entering, cut off his head; it is maa Parvati who insisted on bringing him back to life. These are just a couple of anecdotes that tell the tale of a mother-son bond. Lord Ganesha, depicted in this Sandstone sculpture is hence also know as Gauri Nandana.
