Product description: Rishabhadeva Shiva or Vrishavahana Shiva refers to the association of Shiva with his Bull, the Nandi or Nandikeshvara. The bronze statue is a chola style form of Shiva in a standing posture, with his right hand assumed to rest on the back of the Bull. The physical presence of the Bull in this particular pose is rarely seen, but bronze Rishabadeva with Sivagami is widely known and famous in South Indian museums that celebrates the chola style Shiva Parvathi couple with the missing bull. Shiva in this pose stands with his dhoti fastened, and wears his tangled long hair in the shape of a turban. Some contexts refer to the matted locks of hair as serpents shaped in the form of a turban as seen in the statue. The face of Shiva exudes a sublime beauty full of serenity and compassion, and this expression conveys a sense of inner peace and spiritual fulfillment. Goddess Sivagami is standing on an inverted lotus in a graceful posture, a typical pose of the Goddess which dates back to the Chola period. She is adorned with beautiful ornaments, and artistically designed clothing, and a decorated crown. The statue of Sivagami have a unique charm that makes her irresistibly captivating. In essence, the love between Rishabadeva and Sivagami embodies a profound sacred energy, where the seemingly opposing forces of renunciation and devotion do not stand in contradiction but instead complement and uplift one another. The patina on the sculptures shows an antique, warm bronze hue, giving it an ageless and captivating allure. The statue of bronze Rishabhadeva and Sivagami set is one of a kind statue made using the lost-wax method; an expert craftsmanship by our South Indian bronze artisan.
