Description
This great masterpiece, a brass-statue cast pursuing the standard format of the timeless Chola bronzes of the South reveals the same level of precision, adherence to finish but without allowing much resplendence to intrude and mar its natural elegance, figural balance, anatomical proportions, and iconographic perception represent Goddess Parvati, Lord Shiva's consort, also known as Gauri. Born of Parvata - Himavan, the Himalayas manifest, the goddess gets her Parvati name. Texts revere her as the absolute manifestation of Adi Parashakti - primordial cosmic power, Shiva’s Shakti and his gentle aspect though in her being she manifested both, the wrathful aspect as well as the benevolent, her incarnations as Durga, Kali, Chandi, Shitla, Tara, and the Mahavidyas being her wrathful forms, and Katyayani, Mahagauri, Kamalatmika, Bhuvaneshvari and Lalita among others, her benevolent manifestations. Finish: Gold/Brown
