EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the divine representation of God Shiva as the Supreme Teacher, also known as Dakshinamurti. Created in the 10th century by an unknown artist, this artwork is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic brilliance of ancient India. The image captures a close-up view of the sculpture, highlighting its intricate details and vibrant colors. Carved out of granite, this magnificent piece depicts Shiva seated in a serene posture, adorned with traditional Indian attire. With his hand gestures or mudras symbolizing knowledge and wisdom, he assumes the role of an educator imparting profound teachings to his disciples. Located at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian art gallery, this masterpiece represents centuries-old religious beliefs and practices rooted in Hinduism. The sculpture's significance lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its spiritual symbolism. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back to Tamil Nadu during the tenth century when such sculptures were revered for their ability to inspire devotion and enlightenment. This piece serves as a reminder of our connection to ancient traditions and invites us to explore deeper into our own spirituality. Through this print from Heritage Images, we can appreciate both the beauty of Indian artistry and gain insight into Shiva's role as a supreme teacher who guides humanity towards self-realization and inner growth.
