Shiva Gangadhara brass (17x12x8.5 cm)

The brass Shiva Gangadhara figurine is an expressive Indian decorative piece with deep symbolism. Shiva sits in a calm, meditative pose, holding a trident, with a kamandalu nearby, and a tiger skin at the base of the composition. A cobra, one of Shiva's traditional attributes, is also visible near the figure, symbolizing strength, control over fear, and inner composure.
The image of Gangadhara is associated with the legend of the descent of the sacred river Ganga to earth. In this tradition, Shiva receives the powerful flow of the Ganga in his hair to soften its force. Therefore, such a statue symbolizes protection, restrained strength, purification, wisdom, and the ability to maintain balance even in the midst of life's great changes.
These figurines are purchased not only as Eastern decor but also as meaningful objects—for meditation, yoga, spiritual practices, a study, or a collection of Indian figurines. The brass sheen, detailed face, trident, cobra, and fine relief make this figurine a striking accent on a shelf, dresser, or home altar.
