Catalogue Note
Shiva and Parvati are seated on a tiger skin atop the curving brown-red summit of Mount Kailasa. The Ganges flowing in a stream from Shiva's piled hair, a serpent entwines his neck. Parvati serenely holds a plate as Shiva meditates holding a rosary. Nandi the bull - the vehicle of his lord Shiva - sits patiently beneath them. A pennant waves from Shiva's trident. Against a cerulean light-blue sky streaked with vermilion and indigo-blue darkening clouds.
