In this brass Uma statue, Her luxurious tresses are tied in a high raising knot, making a Jata-mukuta (crown formed out of locks of hair) which gives her presence an imposing feel.
Goddess Uma’s divine form is sparsely decorated with fine ornaments and a Yajnopavita (sacred thread), an artistic trope used to keep the attention on the magnificence of Bhogashakti which needs no embellishments.
The use of different patterns and carvings on the legs of Uma-Parvati reveals her delicate and patterned dhoti (lower body garment) that clings to her legs. Assured incised lines on the visage of this Devi Uma statue have helped the sculptor bring out the enchanting facial features of the mother goddess.
Devi’s left hand is restfully placed on her throne, supporting the weight of her lithesome body, and her right hand is in the “Katakhasta mudra”- a gesture for holding the flower, which the beloved of Shiva offers lovingly to Mahadeva.
