This digital painting portrays Lord Natarajar, the God of Dance - an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Inspired by the main deity at Thillai Natarajar Temple in Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu; His vibrant stance and golden glory come to life in this painting.
 
On Lord Shiva’s right, is Kamakshi Amman, an incarnation of Parvati or Gauri, inspired by the Kamakshi Amman Temple in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. She is depicted as a form of kindness and compassion, holding symbols of abundance in the parrot and sugarcane.
 
On Lord Shiva’s left is an artistic representation of Sundarar, an 8th-century Tamil poet-saint. Inspired by Thiru-mulam-padi Temple in Ariyalyur, Tamil Nadu, Sundarar’s song “Ponnar Meniyane” (From Thevaram - Thirumurai), symbolizes Lord Shiva’s divine presence, bringing light and glory to our lives. This significance is portrayed as the centric piece in this art.
 
This painting - a harmonious convergence of three historically significant places - is our artistic ode to Lord Shiva and Ambal,
on this Maha-Shivaratri day.
