EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of "Shiva and Parvati" from the Chola Dynasty, dating back to around 846 AD. Crafted in bronze by Indian artists during the 9th century, this masterpiece now resides in the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. The image captures Shiva, a prominent Hindu deity known as the destroyer and transformer, alongside his divine consort Parvati. As a symbol of love and devotion, their presence emanates grace and tranquility. The seated figures exude an aura of power and serenity as they embody the essence of Hinduism. Parvati is depicted as a female manifestation of divinity while Shiva represents masculinity within Hindu mythology. Their harmonious union symbolizes balance and unity between male and female energies. This sculpture serves as a testament to ancient Indian artistry that skillfully portrays intricate details such as facial expressions, hand gestures (mudras), jewelry adornments, and elaborate headdresses. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece through Bridgeman Images' lens, they are transported back in time to witness the artistic brilliance of Chola Dynasty sculptors who captured not only physical beauty but also spiritual significance within their creations. It is a visual reminder of India's rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire awe even after centuries have passed.
