In the unreachable recesses of the Himalayas, the great Lord Shiva resides and dances and introspects. Nepal is as close to the divine abode as it gets. The murti that you see on this page comes from the hands of Nepalese sculptors, an image of the Lord’s never-ending tandava.
Pure brass medium; dark, solemn colour finish. A stance that is dynamic and expressive. Left foot raised in the air. The dancing figure balances on the trishoola in His left hand. From the damroo in His right hand emanates an ominous, all-annihilating music. The right foot is balanced on the skin of a tiger the Lord had vanquished.
Zoom in on the facial features of Shiva. Note the depth of expression despite the minimalistic line engravings. In fact, detail and adherence to traditional iconography are to be found in every aspect of the divine in this composition.
