Shiva has many benevolent and fearsome depictions. In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash as well as a householder with wife Parvati and his two children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. This authentic looking Kailaaya parvat clay model features a magnificent mounain surrounded by devaloka gods and godessess on which the Shiva parivar resides.
