Beautiful vintage Indian chromolithograph depicting the holy family of Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvati, and Lord Ganesha seated together on Mount Kailash. This composition is based on the iconic “Shiv Parivar” painting by Raja Ravi Varma, faithfully reinterpreted by artist Murari. The scene shows Shiva holding a trident, Parvati in coral robes, and Ganesha with his elephant head, accompanied by Nandi the bull and twin lions symbolizing divine strength. The artwork captures the serenity and grace of Varma’s original vision, printed in rich tones typical of mid-20th-century Indian devotional lithographs.
