FAQs
It highlights that even the highest deities approach Lord Hara with reverence, affirming Śiva as the supreme refuge (Pati) whom all seek for grace, harmony, and auspiciousness.
By depicting the gods going to Hara’s presence, it supports Saguna worship—approaching Śiva in a worshipable, accessible form (such as the Liṅga) for darśana, prayer, and receiving Śiva’s anugraha (grace).
The takeaway is to ‘go to Hara’ through upāsanā: visit a Śiva temple or Liṅga, offer bilva leaves and water, apply tripuṇḍra (bhasma), and repeat the Pañcākṣarī mantra “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” with devotion.
