This Pradosh Moorty bronze depicts Shiva and Parvati, enthroned on the back of the joyful one Nandi.

Shiva and Parvati are revered during the Pradosha Vrata, which takes place on the Trayodashi of the lunar fortnight and is one of the most auspicious times to gain their blessings.

Shiva and Parvati are beautifully adorned, with a removable, traditional aureole surrounding them.

Carrying the supreme Purusha and Prakriti on his back, Nandikeshwara is adorned with a Tripunda, a jeweled necklace, and a bell. His stance is alert and lively, with a smile discernible on his face, conveying the joy of a devout follower.
