EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 10th century sandstone carving depicts the revered deities Ganesha, Shiva, and Karttikeya mounted on their respective vahanas or mounts. Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, is seated on the back of his mount, the majestic elephant, with his broken tusk, a symbol of wisdom, held in his lower right hand. Shiva, the god of destruction and regeneration, is shown riding on the bull Nandi, with his third eye open, signifying his omniscience. Karttikeya, the god of war and the leader of the celestial army, is depicted on the peacock Swarna, with his trident and conch shell in his hands. The three deities are shown in a harmonious position, symbolizing unity and the interconnectedness of various aspects of the Hindu and Buddhist pantheon. This intricately hand-carved sculpture, originating from Cambodia or Southeast Asia, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the region and the deep-rooted spiritual traditions that continue to influence the lives of millions. The full-length image, with its vibrant colors and detailed carving, invites the viewer to contemplate the divine and the profound, transporting us to a time and place where the sacred and the artistic were intertwined.
