Avaran


Vasudhaiva kutumbakam
The picture depicts Shiva with family camping under a tree. A snake comprises his loincloth. Right then, there appear Vishnu. Vishnu is on his vehicle Garuda, the great bird and the traditional enemy of snakes. Seeing Garuda arrive, the snake, comprising Shiva's loincloth, flees in fear into an anthill leaving Shiva nude. For saving her husband from disgrace, Parvati tears a part of her sari and with it Shiva protects his privacy.
