Distraught Shiva Carry the Body The Sati on His Shoulder |
The distraught Shiva
traverses the three lokas. His wife, the beautiful Sati, lies limp and lifeless
on His left shoulder. The eight arms of Shiva - He is the ashtabhujadhari -
flays about Him in this mad state. The left foot crushes down upon the seated
Apasmara, the personification of avidya (ignorance).
Sculpted from bronze in the traditional Swamimalai
studios, this murti is a narrative of how Shakteepeethas came to be. Legend has
it that the tandava of the grief-stricken husband dismembered Sati’s corpse,
parts of which landed at different points in ihaloka (the mortal realm of
existence). These today are the Shakteepeethas.
This Sati-Shiva tandava murti is one of a kind. Every line and detail of this work has been
executed by hand. Note the superb, lifelike musculature; the handsome and
expressive features of Shiva’s countenance; and the minimal yet neatly defined
adornments on His mostly bare body. The lotus-on-quadrilateral plinth is a
hallmark of the traditional Indian bronze sculpture.
