The beautiful image of Lord Shiva is nicely carved out of natural stone with some exquisite carvings on it. Lord Shiva is one of the Hindu trinity, whose responsibility is maintaining the life cycle. Though the Lord is usually identified with destruction, Shiva is all compassion when it comes to saving the world from the serpent Vaasuki’s poison. Vaasuki, used as a churning rope, was so tired and sick from the repeated action of churning that he vomited the most potent poison into the ocean of milk. Fearing the destruction of the world through this poisoning, Shiva immediately drank the poison. He Himself would have succumbed to the poison were it not for the timely intervention by Parvati, His consort. Parvati held Shiva’s throat tightly preventing entry of the poison into His body. The figure reflects a deep sense of gracefulness.
