this is a carving? please explain.
This statue belongs to Hindu (religion) God shiva. According to hindu mythology :-
God Ardhanarishwara is a combination of the three words 'Ardha', 'Nari' and 'Ishwara' means 'half', 'woman' and 'lord' receptively, which when combined means the lord whose half is woman. It is believed that the God is Shiva and the woman part is his consort Goddess Parvati or Shakti. The Ardhanarishwara represents a constructive and generative power. There is a legend about the Ardhanarishwara form of god.
This is a huge statue,You can see compare the size with people walking at the base of this statue. (5 years and 3016 days ago)
This is a bit boring looking, with the main focus on the left panel, rather than the center. There is so much pattern repetition, it loses it's dynamism and just becomes more of a texture pattern as a photo.
Howdie stranger!
