Shiva, also known as Mahadeva ("Great God"), stands tall as a prominent Hindu deity. He reigns supreme within Shaivism, one of the three most influential denominations in contemporary Hinduism today. As one of the five primary forms of God in the Smarta tradition, he is revered as "the Destroyer" or "the Transformer" among the Trimurti, the Hindu Trinity of the divine aspects. This stunning stone bust of Shiva's head now proudly sits at the Sainsbury's Centre for Visual Arts in Norwich.
