EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 13th century AD stone sculpture, originally hailing from the eastern Indian state of Orissa, showcases the revered Hindu deity Shiva in a tender moment with his consort Parvati. The sculpture, now housed in the British Museum in London, England, United Kingdom, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of ancient India. Shiva, the Destroyer, is depicted here with his characteristic four arms, each holding symbolic objects - the Trishula (trident), Damaru (drum), a bell, and a third hand in a protective gesture. His third eye is open, symbolizing his omniscience. Parvati, the daughter of the mountain, is seated gracefully on Shiva's lap, her left hand resting on his shoulder, and her right hand in a gesture of blessing. The sculpture also features intricate details of Shiva's mount, Nandi, a bull, and his vehicle, Vahana, a lion, adding to its grandeur. The lion, with its mane raised, symbolizes power and courage. The sculpture's relief design further enhances the intricacy and depth of the artwork. The fusion of the divine couple, Shiva and Parvati, symbolizes the unity of masculine and feminine energies, representing the balance and harmony essential in the universe. This masterpiece of Hindu art is a reminder of the profound spiritual and philosophical depth of Hinduism, which continues to captivate and inspire millions around the world. The intricate details and the profound symbolism of this 13th century AD Shiva and Parvati sculpture from Orissa, India, serve as a window into the rich artistic and cultural heritage of ancient India.
