About this work
Shiva in the form of Ardhanarisvara, half man, half woman, with a cobra around her waist; from her head springs the Ganges; to the right stands Ganesha, with a red elephant head and four arms. The image is framed by a red border and white, black, and silver frame lines; at the top, five lines of text in black and red Indian script on a yellow background.
