In this beautiful Kalamkari painting Lord Shiva is being shown going in His marriage procession along with other gods and goddesses. Parvati was a pious girl. One day, a sage came to her house and told her that one day she would marry an ascetic whose body would be covered with ash. The prophecy came true. Here, the artist depicts the marriage procession of Shiva & Parvati. The couple are painted beautifully seated on the bull Nandi, the vehicle of Lord Shiva. They proceed towards Kailash, the adobe of Shiva. The ganas are playing the musical instruments and are lost in the revelry of the celebrations. A deep sense of exhilaration is manifest on their faces. Lord Vishnu, the God of preservation and Lord Brahma, the god of creation are also painted. Lord Shiva and Parvati are considered the most ideal couple by the Hindus and are revered in high esteem.
