"Veena Dhara" is a unique aspect of Shiva, an example of his beauty and power, whose appearance in bronze makes the metal brim with a delicate flow of life.
Veenadhara emerges on a two-tiered stage, his hair wrapped in a towering Jatamukuta (crown of matted hair) clasped on the reverse by Siraschkara, with fine hair strands falling on Shiva’s back.
In contrast to his sharp and elongated features—curved brows, lotus eyes, a lovely nose, and lips that reveal a sublime, contemplative expression.
The contrapposto posture- body weight shifting on one leg forming a graceful pose, gives the statue a sense of refined movement.
Sculpted following the traditional iconography of Swamimalai temple bronzes, the statue is placed on a portable pedestal.
