The origin of the cosmos is envisioned as Ardhanarishwara- the perfect union of male and female principles embodied by Shiva-Shakti.
This oil on canvas presents a powerful vision of the auspicious ambiance of the moment of Shiva and Parvati coming together.
The divine form of Ardhanarishwara in a poised mood is painted in the center, blue-skinned, tiger hide adorned Shiva and fair-hued Uma, both ornamented by the crescent moon, Ganga, third eye, holding the Trishula.
Colorful flowers blossom all around, a symbol of fertility and the bloom of life, as a result of the union of the sacred male and female principles.
Covered in a charming blue color, Nandi forms the background for the figure of Ardhanarishwara, adorned with a necklace of bells, forehead smeared with vermillion, bowing down to the awe-inspiring form he is witnessing. As if an extension of the poise of Ardhanarsihwara, the powerful physique of Nandi is placed in a fluid stance, adding to the subtle liveliness of the painting.
