A Rare Vision of the Eternal Balance

This artwork, Tantric Union: Shakti on Shiva Lingam, visualizes one of the most profound concepts in Indian spiritual art - the merging of consciousness and energy. Shakti represents movement, vitality, and creation, while Shiva signifies stillness, awareness, and the unchanging essence of the cosmos.

Here, the two are not separate. The composition fuses them into a single field of existence, where the physical and metaphysical, the visible and invisible, coexist in perfect balance. Every line, color, and form in this painting is an expression of that cosmic unity.

Symbolism of the Sacred Union

At the center of the artwork, Shakti sits upon the Shiva Lingam, symbolizing the inseparable connection between creation and consciousness. The red serpents winding around her form signify the rise of Kundalini - the primal energy ascending through the chakras to merge with pure awareness.

The triangular and circular yantras upon her chest represent the eternal balance of masculine and feminine forces, the geometry of life itself. The moon above her brow and the eyes emerging from the base remind the viewer that this union is both inner and infinite.

This is not an image of devotion but of realization. It invites the viewer to contemplate the harmony of opposites - stillness and motion, creation and dissolution, the microcosm and the macrocosm.

Traditional Style and Visual Depth

Rendered in the distinctive Bengal Tantric folk style, the artwork employs bold outlines, flat colors, and precise geometric proportions. The luminous yellow body of Shakti contrasts with the deep blue of Shiva, producing a visual intensity that commands attention and reverence.

The composition is anchored by the steady gaze of Shiva below, symbolizing the eternal witness. The serpentine forms, circular chakras, and symmetrical gestures turn the piece into a living yantra - a meditative tool as much as a work of art.
