This colored red marble statue is a one of a kind sculpture, hand carved by the artists of south India. 

Special Features:  The Hindu Gods Shiva and Parvati are synthesized into the one form of Ardhanari.  Shiva is depicted on the right half with Parvati on the left half.  Parvati holds a lotus flower and the tail of a cobra which rests at her feet.  Shiva holds an axe in one of his hands.  Shiva's half of His face has a moustache.  On top of his head is the river goddess Ganga spouting water from Her mouth.

About Gorora Stone:  Gorora stone or Red marble is a wonderful stone for sculpture because of its wide color range.  It is rarer than most soft stones and must be shipped into Tamil Nadu from Uttar Pradesh in the north.  The stone has wonderful cream/yellow/green veins in it contrasting to the beautiful deep red to sometimes pink natural coloration of the stone.  The stone is extremely glossy.  When a red marble statue is polished it has a disarming shimmer. 

Care:  The piece is for indoor use only.  Dust the piece as needed using a cotton piece of cloth.  You can really make the surface and color of the statue shine if you use a cloth to buff the surface.
