With her right hand raised in the gesture of offering a flower- Katakahasta mudra and her left hand dangling on her side in the Lolahasta mudra like a lithesome branch, goddess Parvati in this roopa (form) as Shivakamasundari (beautiful lady-Sundari, who instills activity- Kama, in Shiva’s heart) is the embodiment of divine feminine powers. Worshiped alongside Shiva’s Panchaloha bronze as Nataraja or Pashupati, this bronze Uma Parvati is an aesthetic balance of spiritual and material brilliance.
Devi Uma Parvati stands stately on a two-tiered pedestal in the graceful “Tribhanga” or triple-bent posture. An imposing Kiritamukuta crown, a single necklace, a flowing Yajnopavita (sacred thread), an armlet, bracelet add simplistic ornamentation to the Panchaloha murti of Maa Parvati.
She wears a diaphanous dhoti that clings to her leg above her ankle, secured on her waist by a detailed girdle decorated with multiple gemmed chains. Devi’s face in this bronze Uma Parvati statue is enlivened with arched eyebrows, elongated eyes, a sharp nose, and distinctively smiling lips.
Her earlobes droop in the absence of her jeweled earrings, a reminder of her austerities and sacrifice of material pleasures to attain Shiva as her husband. Sculpted in a rounded fashion, this Uma Parvati bronze is a heavenly presentation of the great goddess’s entrancing exquisiteness.
