The tall and stately Uma or Parvati. Daughter of the mountains, wife of Lord Shiva. On a multi-tiered plinth She stands, Her delicately shaped feet cradled on the pistil of an upturned lotus. Her ample hips are jutting laterally outwards, accentuating the fecund shape of the feminine form.
The style of the Goddess Parvati murti that you see on this page is reminiscent of Her traditional, textual iconography. From the solemn plinth to the minimalistic yet expressive engravings of attire and adornment, it is as if this Parvati Adi Shakti has emerged from the precinct of a centuries-old temple.
It is a contemporary Maa Parvati idol sculpted by the artisans of Swamimalai, the home of India’s traditional bronze sculptural tradition. Made from panchaloha, it has the unique colour finish of a dull metallic and coppery blue gradient. From the colour finish to the composure of Parvati Nath’s countenance, this composition is destined for the home or office temple of the finest modern-day devotee.
