Shiva with four heads – Kalighat Painting

Description

This authentic Kalighat painting presents Shiva with four heads, a powerful symbol of omniscience and divine awareness in all directions. The four faces also reflect the cosmic cycle of creation, preservation, dissolution, and inner consciousness — central to Shaivite philosophy.

Executed in the bold, fluid style that defines 19th-century Bengal’s Kalighat tradition, the work carries devotional intensity and historic folk vitality. A significant acquisition for collectors of traditional Indian art and sacred iconography.
