Description

Siva and his Retinue Nepal 112 x 123.2 cm (44 1/8 x 48 1/2 in.) Watercolor and gold on cotton Type, sub-type: Watercolors

The white-skinned Hindu god Shiva sits in his usual attire on his bull Nandi, accompanied by two goddesses -- one with red skin, the other with green skin -- both seated on lions. He is greeted by his sons, the elephant-headed Ganesh on the left and the red-skinned Skanda on the right. They are on the stylized rocks of Mt. Kailasa, and the river Ganga pours from Shiva's head and down the mountain.
