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

Special Features:  Shiva is standing wearing a snake skin cloth with his right hand holding his trident.  He is wearing Rudraksha beads around his neck.  Shiva has a cobra perched on his right shoulder.  The cobras symbolizes the power He has over the most deadly of creatures. Snakes are also used to symbolize the Hindu dogma of reincarnation. Their natural process of molting or shedding their skin is symbolic of the human souls transmigration of bodies from one life to another.   He is holding a water vessel in his left hand.  Ganga is represented on the head of Shiva, pouring Her liquid body over the head of Shiva.
The river Ganges that flows in Shiva's hair originally flowed in heaven. When the heavenly Ganges was needed on earth, she was unwilling to fall to earth because she realized that her fall from heaven would be too much for the earth to withstand. Shiva agreed to break the violent power of the sacred Ganga's fall by catching her in his tangled hair, breaking the fall with his hair on its way to the Himalayas and Northern India.

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 it shine if you use a cloth to buff the surface.
