Shiv Parvati Marble Murti 2.5ft
This statue is carefully handmade of best-quality marble, rendering it highly durable and long-lasting. The statue is perfect for any indoor or outdoor placement.
The white marble Shiva Parvati statue is a wonderful work of art that captures the soul of Hindu mythology. The sculpture is meticulously made, and its absence of coloring allows the natural beauty of the marble and the detailed carvings to shine through. Lord Shiva, the destroyer and creator of the cosmos, and his wife Parvati, the goddess of love, fertility, and devotion, are shown in the statue. Shiva is shown with his typical features, such as the third eye, the crescent moon, and the snake around his neck, while Parvati is dressed in traditional clothes and jewellery.

Parvati Hill is a hillock in Pune, India. (2,100 feet). Atop the hillock is the Shiva-Parvati Temple, oldest heritage structure in Pune and was built during the rule of the Peshwa dynasty.
Parvati the Elephant created by Christopher Groombridge, can be found in the front courtyard of the Apex Temple Court Hotel, London. The Hotel chain won Parvati in a charity auction. She was created for the charitable event Jungle City, which aimed to celebrate and create awareness of the plight of Asia's endangered wildlife.
I spotted her quite by accident, so glad I did, a majestic, vibrant and totally charming sculpture in an unexpected location!
Mahaballipuram has been rich source of photographic opportunity. But recently, with the ascension of the Indian middle class and a budding domestic tourist market, these cultural heritage sites throughout India are often overrun, allowing for fewer unspoiled images to be seen or captured. This young woman was posing for her family.
Obviously I was far away from her to one side, and upon seeing this image, I knew it had to be taken. Later, I told people that I had seen Parvati (Shiva’s consort) in the parktoday and showed them the image. They were surprised, and nodded in agreement with my assessment of what I had seen.
The Parvati Temple is a prominent Hindu temple in the southeast part of Pune. It is located on Parvati hill, which is the highest point in the city at about 2,100 feet (640 m).
The main temple, Devdeveshwara, is made of blackstone. It was completed under Nanasaheb Peshwa, in 1749. Other temples are dedicated to Vitthal and Rukmini, Vishnu, and Kartikeya.
Parvati, Rishi and Sunanda are joined by Inns North innkeepers Meghan and Chris at a coffeehouse evening at the inn.
Parvati is in character as Natamba. She has just returned from Ward Hunt Island, near the magnetic North Pole, where she gave the northernmost musical performance ever in order to raise awareness of melting polar ice caps and how we are all interconnected on this planet.
Manikaran is located in the Parvati Valley between the rivers Beas and Parvati, northeast of Bhuntar in the Kullu District of Himachal Pradesh. It is at an altitude of 1760 m and is located about 45 km from Kullu.
This small town attracts tourists visiting Manali and Kullu to its hot springs and pilgrim centres. An experimental geothermal energy plant has also been set up here.
Manikaran is a pilgrimage centre for Hindus and Sikhs. The Hindus believe that Manu recreated human life in Manikaran after the flood, making it a sacred area. It has many temples and a gurudwara. There are temples of the Hindu deities Rama, Krishna, and Vishnu. The area is well known for its hot springs and its beautiful landscape.
According to legend, when the Hindu God Shiva and his consort Parvati were walking in the valley, Parvati dropped one of her earrings. The jewel was seized by Shesha, the serpent deity, who then disappeared into the earth with it. Shesha only surrendered the jewel when Shiva performed the cosmic dance, the Tandava and shot the jewel up through the water. Apparently, jewels continued to be thrown up in the waters at Manikaran until the earthquake of 1905.
SIKH BELIEF
According to the Sikhs, during third Udasi, his founder Guru Nanak came to this place in 15 Asu 1574 Bikrami with his disciple Bhai Mardana. Mardana felt hungry and they had no food. Nanak sent Mardana to collect food for the langar (the Community Kitchen). Many people donated atta (flour) to make Roti(bread). The one problem was that there was no fire to cook the food. Nanak asked Mardana to lift a stone and he complied and a hot spring appeared. As directed by Nanak, Mardana put the rolled chappatis in the spring to his despair the chappatis sank. Nanak then told him to pray to God saying that if his chappatis float back then he would donate one chappati in His name. When he prayed all the chappatis started floating duly baked. Nanak said that anyone who donates in the name of God, his drowned items float back . . .
HINDU BELIEF
The legend of Manikaran states that while roaming around, Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, once chanced upon a place that was surrounded by mountains and was lush green. Enamoured by the beauty of the place, they decided to spend some time there. It is believed that they actually spent eleven hundred years here.
During their stay here, Goddess Parvati lost her mani in the waters of a stream. Upset over the loss, she asked Shiva to retrieve it. Lord Shiva commanded his attendant to find out the mani for Parvati, however, when they failed, he was extremely angry. He opened his third eye, a tremendously inauspicious event which led to disturbances in the universe. An appeal was made before the serpent god, Sheshnag, to pacify Lord Shiva. Sheshnag hissed thereby giving rise to a flow of boiling water. The water spread over the entire area resulting in the emergence of precious stones of the type Goddess Parvati had lost. Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati were happy at the outcome.
The name Manikaran is derived from this legend. The water is still hot and is considered extremely auspicious. A pilgrimage to this place is thought of as complete. It is also believed that there is no need to pay a visit to Kashi after visiting this place. The water of the spring is also supposed to have curative powers. The water is so hot that rice can be cooked in it.
