Gangadhara (he who holds the Ganga) and Chadrachooda (adorned by the crescent moon in his hairdo), this granite statue of Shiva rises to an unbelievable height of nearly 13 feet, with a youthful appearance that contrasts and complements the mammoth vision one sees.
Each line is measured, each stroke of the hammer, placement of the nail is immaculate, exemplified by the perfection of lines, etchings, and details of the sculpture.
Granite, a supremely hard stone becomes soft with the skill of the craftsmen, who have adorned Shiva with a Tripunda, sarpa-haar (necklace of serpent), Rudraksha bead ornaments, and a dhoti of Baaghacharma (tiger skin), gracefully wrapped and embellished with chain of bells, Shringi tucked in the waist and a waist cloth.
With the crescents in his eyes alluring the heart of the devotee, Shiva inhabits every inch of this granite masterpiece.
