Shivparivar

A "Brass Shiv Parivar" is a detailed and ornate idol set crafted from brass, portraying the divine family of Lord Shiva. The set typically includes:

1. Lord Shiva: The central figure, depicted in a meditative or seated posture. He often holds a trident (trishul) and a small drum (damru). A snake is coiled around his neck, and he may be shown with the crescent moon in his matted hair, along with the Ganga river flowing from his locks. His expression is calm and serene, symbolizing his role as both a creator and destroyer in the cosmic cycle.

2. Goddess Parvati: Seated beside Shiva, she is often depicted with a gentle and benevolent expression, signifying her nurturing and motherly nature. Parvati may hold a lotus or other symbols of fertility and prosperity.

3. Lord Ganesha: Their son, depicted with an elephant head, is shown seated near Shiva's feet. Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and god of wisdom, is usually depicted holding a modak (a sweet) in one of his hands, along with other items like an axe, lotus, or a rope.

4. Lord Kartikeya (Murugan): The second son, depicted with a youthful appearance, is often shown holding a spear or sitting on his mount, the peacock. Kartikeya represents bravery, youthfulness, and divine protection.

5. Nandi: Shiva's devoted bull, Nandi, may also be part of the set, positioned near Shiva's feet, symbolizing loyalty and strength.

The brass material gives the idol a golden sheen, which enhances its divine and regal appearance. The intricate detailing, from the expressions to the ornaments and clothing, reflects skilled craftsmanship. The idol set is often used in homes and temples for worship and is considered auspicious, bringing peace, harmony, and prosperity to the household.
