Parvati is the consort of Shiva and her name means "she who dwells in the mountains". She was the daughter of Himavat (Lord of the mountains) and his queen Mena. In this late-18th century murti, Parvati is portrayed with four arms; the two upper arms are holding a lotus flower (kamal) and a spear (vajra). Her lower right hand is in abhaya mudra, and the lower left is in varada mudra, both signifying benediction. Parvati is depicted sitting in the lotus position on a double plinth, a bit unusual. The devotional wear combined with the red sindoor powder give this piece a powerful presence. Height 6 cm, width 4.4 cm. |
