This handmade Batik painting portrays Shiva, the creative principle of Indian mythology. Seated on a simple stool, Shiva carries his traditional appendages. Prominently shown are his trident, drum and the snake. The celestial Yogi seems to be emanating endless energy. Lying at the center of dark, black chaos is the prime creator, made distinct by the use of bright green and vibrant yellow. An art of antiquity, this Shiva batik painting is matchless in aesthetic beauty.
