Lord Shiva is the revered deity of Hindus. He is allocated the highest cathedra in Hindu religion. We say so, as he is known as ‘The Lord of the Lords’. The deity is known for many of his forms and incarnations and the tales pertaining to his valor, wisdom, and anger are endless. Perhaps, this is the reason why the believers of Lord Shiva love sprucing their homes with Shiva paintings and idols. In fact, who would not want to integrate such positivity in his house? Placing at least one of such paintings is highly recommendable. It is auspicious not just according to astrology but science as well.
Nevertheless, some of you might be having one such painting or some might be planning to buy one. Isn’t it? Have you seen the elements that are present in every painting of Shiva? The trident, the drum, the bull and every other element present means something. Well, do you know what all of these mean?
If not, keep reading this blog as we unravel the implied meaning of elements present in Lord Shiva paintings. Take a look.
There are three states of being conscious- dreaming, waking and sleeping. The trident symbolizes these three states of consciousness. It also signifies that the almighty can destroy the pain that would either be ethereal, spiritual or physical. It is to show that Shiva controls the universe and every being living on it. Because he has control over all the states of consciousness, he can relieve all the three kinds of pains that happen due to them. To be precise, the ultimate power lies in the hand of this supreme power.
