Uma Maheshwara is the combined form of Shiva (Maheshwara) and Parvati (Uma), representing divine marital union and harmony as well as the union of their consciousness and energy. Both are seated together on Mount Kailash or on a lotus pedestal. Parvati is often depicted sitting on Shiva’s lap, which symbolizes their love and partnership. Lord Shiva is portrayed with matted hair (Jata), a crescent moon, Ganga flowing from his hair, a trident (Trishul), and a serpent around his neck. Parvati is adorned with jewelry and holding a lotus, symbolizing beauty and divine feminine energy (Shakti). The sacred Nandi (bull) is often depicted near them.
