I had not read your comment when I posted my comment. I do think he is fabulous, but I would not wish you to think that I was being disrespectful in any way to such an important statue.

Thank you so much Gaurab, you are very kind.
He has a very powerful presence and I am not surprised to hear that he is associated with success and positivity.
I live in England and whenever I visit Glastonbury I go to a very special shop there where the owner travels to India to buy quilts, furniture and treasures. I recently was compelled to buy a painting , which, it was explained to me, was of Shiva and his consorts. It is beautiful.
