Union - Shiva and Shakti - The Nagalinga Blossom
The Nagalinga flower, which is the blossom of the Cannonball tree is considered dear to Shiva. In this painting the Nagalinga blossom covers the Meru in a representation of the union of Shiva and Shakti - Matter and Energy - from where all Life emerges.
The Meru is the three-dimensional extrapolation of the SriChakram which again, is a geometric diagram - Yantra - and worshipped by devotees of Shiva and Parvati. The mystical sacred geometric diagram consists of interlocking triangles with a center point known as the Bindu. When the flat diagram of triangles is represented in three dimensions, the Bindu forms the top of a pyramid structure which is the Meru. The triangles represent both the Cosmos and the human body.
