Product description: Ardhanareeshvara, one of the most popular iconographic forms of Shiva that symbolizes the male and female principles are inseparable. A composite deity that shows the male-female figure of the Hindu God Shiva together with his consort Parvati. The brass statue portrays Ardhanarishvara standing on a small rectangular mount with Shiva and Parvathi accompanied by their Vahanas at the sides, namely the Bull and the Lion. The statue depicts Ardhanarishvara with four hands showing the clear separation of Male and Female torso, with respect to Shiva on the right, and Parvathi on the left. Shiva stands placing his right foot forward and his rear hand holds a trident with a damaru attached to it. His front hand shows abhaya mudra, and he has a serpents tied around his neck, waist and leg. Parvathi (Shakthi) is seen standing in a graceful posture and has a well-developed bosom with a narrow waist, and a curvier body and hip with clothing draped representing the feminine part of the statue. Her rear hand holds a serpent, and her hand shows varada mudra. The brass statue is certainly admirable with the detailed iconic characteristics of Shiva and Parvathi; Ardhanarishvara is one of the beautiful manifestation of Lord Shiva and Parvathi with a profound inner meaning that explains the balance between the male and female energies, and that they are inseparable.
