More Info
This poster by C. Kondiah Raju depicts Lord Ardhanareeswara, the unified form of Shiva and Parvati, symbolizing cosmic balance and Adishakti. Half adorned in Shiva’s ascetic attire and symbols, and the other half in Parvati’s graceful form, the deity embodies the harmony of masculine and feminine energies. A sacred cow beside the figure represents purity and prosperity, while vibrant colors and temple lamps enhance the divine aura.
Mettur Chemical Industry, a private company founded on November 22, 1936, has been engaged in the manufacturing of metals and chemicals for over 88 years.
