Shiva, revered as the auspicious one and also known as Mahadev, holds a central and revered position in Hindu mythology. The statue depicts Lord Shiva seated on a platform adorned with a tiger skin, symbolizing the triumph of celestial power over primal instincts.
In this portrayal, Lord Shiva is shown with a Trishula (trident), symbolizing his power over creation, preservation, and destruction. He holds a Damru (small drum), representing the rhythm of the cosmos. Around his neck, the mighty serpent king Vasuki signifies his control over destructive forces. The third eye on his forehead symbolizes wisdom, insight, and the destruction of ignorance.
Adorned with rudraksha beads, Lord Shiva embodies the divine essence. He is believed to be descended from the ancient deity Rudra, worshiped in the Indus Valley during Vedic times. Hinduism reveres three principal deities responsible for the cosmic cycle of creation, maintenance, and dissolution, with Shiva playing a pivotal role in the cycle of transformation and regeneration.
