Who is Lord Uma Maheshwara?

Uma Maheshwara is the married form of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati, whose love story is legendary. Like energy and matter, Shiva and Parvati cannot exist without each other. The great poet Kalidas poetically explains the divine romance of Shiva and Parvati in his epic Kumarasambhava, a classic of Sanskrit Literature.

How is Lord Uma Maheshwara Portrayed?

Uma Maheshwara is the combined form of Shiva (Maheshwara) and Parvati (Uma), representing divine marital union and harmony as well as the union of their consciousness and energy.

Both are seated together on Mount Kailash or on a lotus pedestal. Parvati is often depicted sitting on Shiva’s lap, which symbolises their love and partnership. Lord Shiva is portrayed with matted hair (Jata), a crescent moon, Ganga flowing from his hair, a trident (Trishul), and a serpent around his neck. Parvati is adorned with jewellery and holding a lotus, symbolising beauty and divine feminine energy (Shakti). The sacred Nandi (bull) is often depicted near them.
