Rooted in the woodcarving traditions of Southern India, particularly Kerala, Kumbla wood is valued for its fine grain, durability, and smooth finish, making it a preferred medium for sacred iconography and temple architectural embellishments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStanding in a dynamic tribhanga (three-bend) posture upon a rock pedestal, the four-armed deity embodies both divine movement and ascetic composure. His front right hand is raised in abhaya mudra, bestowing protection and fearlessness, while his front left hand firmly grips a vertical trishula (trident). His upper rear hands hold a damru (pellet drum), representing cosmic creation and sound, and a bowl of sacred flame (agni), symbolizing cosmic dissolution and transformation. Coiled around his neck is the serpent Vasuki, accompanied by multiple strands of rudraksha beads across his chest, arms, and wrists. Draped in a tiger-skin loincloth and a sacred thread (yajnopavita), Shiva features serene facial carving with almond-shaped eyes, crowned by a tall, layered jatamukuta (matted hair crown) and framed by flowing side drapery (sarna).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Diya Handicrafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67540404994262,"sku":null,"price":10000.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/1498\/files\/1._Shiva_in_Wood_Carving_by_Diya_Handicrafts.png?v=1791281261","url":"https:\/\/www.memeraki.com\/products\/shiva-in-wood-carving-by-diya-handicrafts","provider":"Memeraki Retail and Tech Pvt Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
