This excellent brass cast, though the representation of just the bust, represents not merely Shiva’s likeness but also elaborately and with absolute distinction one of his many manifestations and the entire drama related to this form : river Ganga’s vanity and arrogance, and Lord Shiva’s repulsive disapproval of it. The statue makes use of the tiny idol that Lord Shiva carries on his head for revealing Ganga’s mind, her vanity and arrogance; Shiva’s disapproval reflects in the bearing of his agitated face. Though a mere bust, the artifact represents Shiva as Gangadhara – one who holds Ganga, the river goddess, on his head, perhaps the head-part being of greater significance the artist preferred a bust form for representing his image of Lord Shiva.
