Shiva is a major Hindu deity, and is the Destroyer or Transformer among the Trimurti, the Hindu Trinity of the primary aspects of the divine. Shiva is a yogi who has notice of everything that happens in the world and is the main aspect of life. Yet one with great power, he lives a life of a sage at Mount Kailash. In the Shaiva tradition of Hinduism, Shiva is seen as the Supreme God and has five important works: creator, preserver, destroyer, concealer, and revealer (to bless). Nandi or Nandin, is the name for the bull which serves as the mount (Sanskrit: Vahana) of the god Shiva and as the gate keeper of Shiva and Parvati, and in Hindu mythology. Temples venerating Shiva display stone images of a seated Nandi, generally facing the main shrine. There are also a number of temples dedicated solely to Nandi.

Ganesha-Janani (Mother of Ganesh), c. 1890. Eastern India, Bengal, Kolkata, Kalighat. Watercolor, graphite, ink, and tin on paper; painting only: 44.2 x 27.9 cm (17 3/8 x 11 in.). The goddess Parvati is portrayed here with the infant Ganesh in her arms. Ganesh is the ever-popular elephant-headed deity who is worshipped as the mischievous god of obstructions and beginnings. Ganesh is fashioned from the dirt of Parvatis body. At his mothers request, Ganesh guarded her as she bathed, only to be confronted by the god Shiva, Parvatis husband, who is refused entry. Not knowing that Ganesh is his son, Shiva cuts off his head and enters. Parvati demands that Ganesh be restored. Ganesh is often portrayed as an infant when depicted with his mother Parvati, highlighting his childlike character.

Sri Sri Kali (recto); Kali (verso) G. C. Dass Unidentified artist ca. 1880-85 (recto); ca. 1875-85 (verso) The goddess Kali (the Black One), the destroyer of time itself and the embodiment of supreme power, lies at the heart of Bengal Hindu devotionalism. When the printing workshops of Calcutta began producing multiple images of the Hindu gods to be sold to pilgrims, Kali was amongst the first. In this small but powerful image, Kali appears doll-like, with a large head, forehead third eye, wide glaring eyes and a long red lolling tongue. Four arms project from her upper body, those on her left wield the sacrificial chopper (marked with the all-seeing eye) and severed male head. This head, and a garland of severed heads that she wears along with garlands of white jasmine, all have the twin horizonal forehead mark (tilaka) of Shaiva devotees.On the verso is another, incomplete, image, indicating that the lithograph was printed on the recycled paper of another lithographed image of Kali.

Nang talung' is the shadow puppet theatre popular in southern Thailand. It is an art form said to have originated as early as 400 BC in Southeast Asia. Performances usually last well into the night and remain an essential if diminishing part of village life in Thailand's Deep South. Nang means animal hide, from which the figures are cut. Talung refers to Phatthalung, a town in southern Thailand where the art form is said to have originated. It is the task of a single skilled person, the 'nai nag' or puppet master, to create the whole show. Sitting behind an illuminated screen, he maneuvers up to six puppets per scene. The changing tone of the puppeteers voice differentiates between the characters, while a band of musicians adds tension to the story. While the more formal 'nang yai' is based on the Hindu epic the Ramayana known as the Ramakien in Thai 'nang talung' takes its inspiration from everyday life.

Goddess Jagadhatri 1878-1883 West Bengal, Calcutta The regal young goddess whose name means Bearer of the World,” sits elegantly on her lion companion as he navigates mountainous terrain. Jagadhatri is an emanation of Kali who, according to one myth, transformed herself into a fair complexioned beauty after Shiva made disparaging remarks in jest about Kali’s dark skin. Shiva misses his spouse intensely and fails to recognize her in her new guise. Her true identity is established when Jagadhatri garlands Shiva with a cobra, shown poised above her left shoulder. She displays in her four hands a bow, arrow, discus, and conch, and is richly bejeweled; even her lion sports a jeweled gold diadem.. Goddess Jagadhatri. West Bengal, Calcutta. 1878-1883.

Kali/ Tara ca. 1885-90 Calcutta Art Studio The Mahavidyas are tantric manifestations of the great goddess (mahadevi), analogous to the ten avatars of Vishnu, and are personifications of Shakti, Shivas energy. Two scenes occupy the sheet, on the left the fearful four-armed Kali, wearing a skirt of severed arms and garlanded with severed heads, standing astride two appearances of Shiva, one brown-skinned corpse-like and the second, white skinned, with whom she appears to be in sexual union. Within the Mahavidya tantric tradition, Kali is the “Devourer of Time”. The right side of the composition is occupied by Tara and appears much like Kali, with a diadem and garland of skulls and Shivas tiger skin worn around her waist. She also tramples a prone Shiva, here lying amidst a charnel ground with blazing pyres. Within the Mahavidya tantric tradition Tara is a guide and protector who offers the ultimate knowledge and hence salvation. Both wield bloody cleavers and hold a severed head and sk
