Nandi’s Devotion at Shiva’s Shrine

This serene painting portrays a sacred scene centered on a black Shivling, a symbolic representation of Lord Shiva, adorned with white and red markings, a golden trident, and green leaves with purple flowers. The Shivling is set on a gray pedestal, surrounded by small offerings, including lit oil lamps that cast a warm glow, and scattered flowers, symbolizing worship. In the foreground, Nandi, Lord Shiva’s devoted bull, faces the Shivling in reverence, adorned with a red crown, blue jewelry, and a garland of yellow flowers. Above, a traditional oil lamp hangs, illuminating the scene with a golden light.
