This Shiva Meditation statue is 21 Inches tall and you will be impressed by both the size and quality of this piece. Shiva (along with Krishna) is one of the most popular deities in India and Nepal. He is believed to be the Lord of Destruction and Rebirth. Indeed, he is seen here with a snake, since they are seen as animals that are "reborn" every time they shed their skins.
Another symbol of rebirth is the crescent moon that is in Shiva's locks. As the moon disappears every month, it is "reborn" every time there is a new moon.
In this statue, Shiva is shown in a meditation pose, with both legs folded in the lotus position with one leg tucked on top of the other. In this pose he is known as the "King of Ascetics" and is believed to be the patron saint of those who have renounced worldly pleasures and instead seek the spiritual path in this lifetime.
