Look closely and you will see

• Shiva sitting cross-legged, his left hand resting on his knee.
• His right hand raised, palm facing you, giving blessings.
• A tall trishul with a small damru tied to it, standing at his side.
• A naag rising behind his shoulder with its hood open.
• Ganga ji on top of his hair bun, and the moon on one side of it.

• A rock-style seat with an animal face carved at the front.

The whole statue is in bright golden brass, with fine lines on the hair, the malas and the seat.

It is 35 inches tall (88.9 cm), 22 inches wide (55.88 cm) and 14 inches deep (35.56 cm), and it weighs 37.95 kg. A piece this heavy should sit on the floor or on a strong, low platform. It suits a big pooja room, a home temple, an office lobby or a temple hall.

Why families keep a sitting Shiva

Shiva, also called Mahadev or Bholenath, is the calm one who sits in meditation on Mount Kailash. Many devotees keep his sitting form at home for peace, and pray to him on Mondays and on Mahashivratri.

Questions people ask

How do I move it? Always lift it from the base with two or three people, never from the trishul or the raised hand.

How do I keep it shining? Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth now and then. That is all it needs.
