Meditating Shiva Sandstone Idol

Stillness, in warm gold — Lord Shiva in deep meditation, his trishul at his side.

Handcrafted in sandstone and finished in an antique gold tone with hand-painted detailing, this idol shows Lord Shiva seated cross-legged in meditation, eyes softly closed and hands resting in his lap. His trishul stands tall beside him, a cobra rests over his shoulder, and the crescent moon and flowing Ganga crown his dark matted hair. Rudraksha malas hang across his chest, and a coral-toned tiger skin covers his seat and robe, with a small tiger face at the front of the rocky base. At 17 cm tall on a 13 cm base, it suits a home mandir, a meditation corner or a work desk, and makes a thoughtful gift for Mahashivratri or a new home.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth or soft brush, working carefully into the hair, the malas and the tiger-skin texture — avoid water or liquid cleaners as moisture can affect the sandstone surface and the painted colour. Keep away from direct sunlight to preserve the coral tone over time. Handle with care around the trishul, the most delicate point on the idol.
