Catalogue Note
Shiva the ascetic, bare-chested and hair matted, with the crescent moon on his forehead. Holding his trident as his other hand pats the haunches of his faithful bull Nandi. A long garland around his neck, a snake encircles his chest. His respectful wife Parvati by his side under a blossoming tree on Mount Kailasa.
