This Brass Statue manifests Lord Shiva’s descending from the heavens, guiding the heavenly river Ganga safely to Earth. In one hand, he cradles Agni, the fire god, and in the other, a damru or a drum. Shiva's right hand extends in the abhaya-mudra, the reassuring "fear not" gesture. His left hand firmly subdues the dwarf of Ignorance, Apasmara. An awe-inspiring prahabhamandala, a fiery arch, envelops Shiva as he gracefully fulfills his cosmic role.
This contemporary masterpiece encapsulates the mythological story of Ganga's descent (Gangavatarana) from heaven to Earth. Initially, the sacred Ganges flowed in the celestial realm, hesitant to descend to Earth, aware of the havoc it might wreak. In a compassionate act, Shiva, as Nataraja, intercepted her fall, using his tangled hair to break the fall's violent force, guiding the river to the Himalayas and Northern India, an act of divine intervention and a testament to the transcendence of Lord Shiva's cosmic dance.
