25'' Lord Shiva as Pashupatinath | Madhuchista Vidhana (Lost-Wax) | Panchaloha Bronze from Swamimalai
Pashupatinath is a Hindu deity and an incarnation of the Hindu Lord Shiva as the “Lord of the animals”. Pashupati is identical with Rudra, the deity of the Vedas. Rudra is the dreadful form of Lord Shiva and he is invoked so that he might become merciful and benign. The Sculpture depicts Pashupatinath standing on a pedestal podium with four hands. In this beautiful piece of art Pashupati is depicting Abhay Mudra (fear not) with his right hand and “Varada Mudra” (Signifies dispensing boons) with his left hand while holding an axe in his right hand at the back and a deer in his left hand. Pashupatinath is an embodiment of the harmony between people and nature since he is the defender of animals and the keeper of the cosmos’ order. Worshipping Lord Pashupatinath is seen to be very helpful in lessening the effects of grieving, death phobia, indecision, illness, guilt, and sin eradication.
