The Shiv Parivar is a symbol of harmony & prosperity. The worship is beneficial for harmony in house & relationships. This Poly-resin idol is handcrafted and is suitable for worshipping as well as home decoration. The idol is given a glossy finish, which is washable.The most appropriate place for a Shiva Statue is on an altar table, but any area where no nearby objects would be too close to the statue is appropriate as well. Don’t place the statue near the end of a bed or under anything, like a clothesline. And unlike Ganesha, Shiva does not really belong at work because his energy is way too strong.A meditating Shiva naturally has a calmer energy, while the dancing Shiva has a strong, forceful energy; after all, it’s the dance of creation! Remember this when placing your Shiva statue at home, as you want something that compliments your energy. For instance, a high-energy personality doesn’t really need any more of that type of energy, and should get the meditation variety, and vice-versa.
