The ancient philosophy of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (the world as one family) comes to life in this brass statue of Shiva-Parivaar, a coming together of opposites and warring elements, in perfect harmony. Shiva is the central figure, embracing Uma-Parvati and supporting Ganesha, who lovingly rests his body against his father. Skanda sits in Parvati’s lap with his Mayura (peacock) near his feet and Nandi resting nearby. Ganesha’s Mushak (rat) sits next to his Lord, extending a Modak to him, bringing a dynamic and devotional aspect to the statue.

Each element is sculpted with great detail- from the serene expressions of the deities to the intricacy of their ornaments. Finesse can be witnessed on the reverse of the artwork, where secondary details are added with precision and aesthetic beauty, creating a divine icon for welcoming familial bliss home.
