FAQs

It models the correct bhāva for Śiva-pūjā: even the highest Devas approach with humility (crowns set aside) and offer añjali and stuti—an inner purification that supports true devotion to Pati, the Lord.

By showing Indra, Brahmā, and Viṣṇu honoring Gaṇeśa, it reflects the Shaiva view that all cosmic powers function within Śiva’s sovereignty; reverence to Śiva’s divine order (his Gaṇas) aligns the pashu (soul) toward Pati.

Añjali (joined palms) with verbal jaya-stuti is highlighted—an act of surrender that loosens pasha (bondage) through humility, a foundational disposition for Pāśupata-oriented worship and discipline.
