Mahadev

This is a print showing Shiva with five heads and four arms. With his back arms, he holds a damru and a drinking horn, while with the other arms, he plays the tabla and the veena. He is seated on a low stool with a bolster and a miniature version of his mount Nandi is seated under the stool. His hair is matted and entwined with snakes while his eyes are half-closed as if intoxicated with the wine or lost in the music he is playing.
