This artwork, measuring 20.41 x 7.8 feet, depicts three forms of Lord Shiva together. On the left, Shiva is shown seated in a meditative posture, symbolizing inner peace and detachment.
At the center, Shiva is in a yogic asana with a divine aura behind him, representing his form as the awakener of inner energy through yoga. On the right, Shiva is seen meditating beside the Shiva Linga, with a serpent hood spread behind him, reflecting his profound tantric and ascetic aspect.
The vast ocean and sky in the background depict the infinite cosmic form of Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva is revered as Adiyogi, the first yogi, and the guardian of yoga, meditation, and all arts.
According to ancient legends, Shiva first imparted the knowledge of yoga to his seven disciples, the Saptarishis, on the banks of Lake Kanti Sarovar in the Himalayas. It is believed that Shiva has complete mastery over all dimensions of yoga — body, mind, and consciousness — and he is the supreme guru of asana and meditation practices.
