Sandalwood Carved Dancing Shiva Statue – Ganga Descent Theme

Artist: Mohit Jangid
MaterialSandalwood
Size: 18" inches
Origin: Jaipur, Rajasthan
Form Depicted: Nataraja Shiva with Ganga Avataram (Descent of the Ganges)

Artistic & Mythological Description:

This intricately handcrafted sandalwood statue showcases Lord Shiva in a divine dancing posture (Nataraja), carved with remarkable precision by Mohit Jangid, using a single block of pure sandalwood. The sculpture goes beyond just a dance pose—it beautifully narrates the sacred story of the Ganga's descent from the heavens to Earth.

Lord Shiva is depicted with four hands, each symbolizing aspects of cosmic rhythm and protection. One of the most spiritually significant details is the flow of River Ganga emerging from his matted hair (jata). This powerful moment represents the Ganga Avataran, when Shiva received the mighty river to dampen its fierce descent, preventing the Earth from being destroyed.

According to mythology, King Bhagiratha performed years of penance to bring Ganga down to cleanse the sins of his ancestors. Moved by his devotion, Shiva agreed—but to teach Ganga humility, he caught her in his hair, held her there, and only released her gently in seven sacred streams.

At the base of the statue, Nandi (Shiva’s bull) is shown seated faithfully near Shiva’s leg, and the base also includes miniature storytelling carvings, likely depicting Bhagiratha in penance, the celestial flow of Ganga, and symbolic temple motifs. The sculpture is framed within a beautifully carved arch, richly detailed with divine symbols, floral scrolls, and traditional patterns, elevating its shrine-like presence.
