Shiva

Pack of 5 folded cards and envelopes. 8.5 x 5.5. Blank inside. As we dance away the illusory world of Maya, transforming it into power and enlightenment. The symbolism is religion, art and science merged as one. The roles as creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe conveys the conception of the never-ending cycle of time. Although it appeared as early as the fifth century, its present, world-famous form evolved under the rule of the Cholas. Shiva's dance is set within a flaming halo. The held symbols imply that, through belief in Shiva, his devotees can achieve salvation.
