Meditating Shiva 925 Sterling Silver Idol (Oxidized)

This impeccable Lord Shiva idol, crafted meticulously in 925 Oxidized Silver, depicts Him sitting in Padmasana (Yoga posture) with a serene face, looking compassionately at His devotees. His right lower hand is raised in Abhaya Mudra, with an "Om" carved on His palm, and His right upper arm is holding His Trishul (Trident). His Damru is held in His left upper hand, and His left lower hand is positioned straight down, with His fingers in the Gyan Mudra, palm facing down to earth. The crescent moon decorates the right side of His head, and the Tripundara (Tilak), with His Third Eye in the middle of it, is prominently visible on His forehead. The snake is wrapped around His shoulders in a protective manner. Lord Shiva's adornments of Rudraksha malas, armlets, and bracelets are clearly carved, along with a lovely garland. 

Lord Shiva is one of the Divine Trinity, along with Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu. He is the destroyer of the universe, the Lord of time and death, embodying both the fearful Rudra and the loving Bholenath. He symbolizes pure consciousness, and His attributes are beyond definition. Worshipping Nirguna (attribute-less) Shiva blesses devotees with peace, harmony, inner balance, prosperity, fearlessness, expanded consciousness, spiritual awareness, and protection from negative or evil energies. 

925 Sterling Silver is composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals like copper, zinc, and nickel. This combination makes it stronger and more durable than 999 silver, which is softer and more prone to damage. Hence, 925 Sterling Silver is preferred for making idols and jewellery.
