This Nepalese painting features Shiva standing in his cosmic form while embracing his consort Shakti. His countless arms hold weapons and ritual objects and encircle the couple against a background of flames rising from the base of their throne. The interplay of creation and destruction serves as a reminder of the constant flux and impermanence of the universe.
