Thoughts about Mahadev, or Lord Shiva, often revolve around his multifaceted nature as a destroyer and creator, a fierce warrior and a benevolent yogi.
He embodies timelessness, strength, and the ultimate truth, guiding souls beyond darkness. Many find inspiration in his teachings of overcoming fear, surrendering to a higher power, and finding peace within. That’s why I named this painting “The rhythm of the universe”. Acrylic paint on canvas
The portrait focuses on the serene face of Lord Shiva with his eyes closed, conveying a sense of profound inner stillness and tranquility. Three horizontal lines of sacred ash are clearly visible on his forehead. A small, white crescent moon is centered just below the sacred ash lines. He has long, flowing dark hair, with a single lock draped gracefully over his forehead. He wears large hoop earrings and multiple strands of rudraksha beads around his neck.
Central Figure: Lord Ganesha is seated in a classic cross-legged posture. He is depicted with four arms, representing his divine powers.
Symbols & Objects: * In his upper hands, he holds what appear to be traditional ritual implements (likely an axe or goad, though stylized).
His lower right hand is raised in the Abhaya Mudra, a gesture of protection and fearlessness.
His lower left hand holds a small pink flower, adding a touch of gentleness to the image.
Attire: He wears a bold, sky-blue vest or wrap over his shoulders and a bright yellow dhoti with green accents. This color contrast makes the figure “pop” against the lighter background.
