This sculpture depicts Shiva’s family, a perfect example of a loving and contented bond, sharing harmony with each other despite having antagonistic natures. Just as the five fingers of a hand are not alike but can do any work effectively when joined together, similarly, despite being conceived in different forms, they are a primary symbol of unity and oneness. Perched happily on Shiva’s abode, Mount Kailash, formed here on a scribbled three layered pedestal with Shiva’s sacred mount Nandi resting on left and Linga (Shiva’s aniconic form) on the right. The auspicious one (Mahadeva Shiva) sits in blessing posture on the right, holding his revered trishula, the deadly serpent coiled round his neck and the pious river Ganga flows out from his matted locks; he represents energy and is worshipped as the primitive deity of the cosmic Trimurti.
