This painting depicts Shiva as Digambaraya—clad only in the infinite sky, adorned with ash, serpents, and silence. Seated in serene asceticism, he transcends all materiality. The elements themselves become his garment, embodying detachment, vastness, and the cosmic truth that divinity needs no adornment—only presence, stillness, and boundless infinity.
I have painted this sculpture of the famous Belur temple, Karnataka, using sand with acrylics to give it a three dimensional look.
I observed during my visits to riverbanks and seashores, where fisherwomen work with equal effort as fishermen, yet live joyfully like queens — hence the crown. The painting portrays the strength and resilience of a woman whose life is deeply interwoven with fishing.
