The traditional touch – Nandishwara – Shive Parvati

The encryption of Lord Shiva, Radha Krishna and Parvati (Nandishwara series) in gold to give the painting an antique look is where the beauty of his paintings lie. The word Nandi has come from the Tamil root word, Nandhu which means to grow, to flourish, or to appear, which was used to indicate growing or flourishing of white bulls, as well as divine bull Nandi. The Sanskrit word nandi has the meaning of happy, joy, and satisfaction, the properties of divine guardian of Shiva- Nandi. Almost all Shiva temples display stone-images of a seated Nandi, generally facing the main shrine.
