Shiva and Parvati -High Quality Print of Artwork by Pieter Weltevrede

Shiva was leading a life of an ascetic after her wife Sati jumped into sacrificial fire and gave up her life. Sati reincarnated as Parvati in another life and wanted to marry Shiva. Shiva, however, was not interested in worldly affairs anymore. Therefore, Parvati observed severe tapas for several years, thereby convincing Shiva to marry her. Shiva didn’t have any family, so Shiva’s all Ganas joined him in his marriage. Both Devas (demi-gods) and Asuras (demons) joined too. Hindu God of creation, Brahma and the preserver God, Vishnu are also shown here attending the Shiva Parvati Vivah.

The Artwork is printed on Felix Schoeller coated matte paper imported from Germany, which is a type of paper specifically designed to have a smooth, non-reflective surface. The printing process utilized Epson Ultrachrome HDX inks, known for their high-quality and durability, if framed and displayed under specific conditions like room temperature will last for few decades . These inks are renowned for their vibrant color reproduction and excellent fade resistance, ensuring that the printed artwork maintains its visual appeal for a long period of time.
