How do elements of form and balance in the representation of Shiva Seated with Uma (Uma-Maheshvara) reinforce the theme of harmony through physical and spiritual love?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. The paired figures are asymmetrically balanced as Uma's leg positions mirror Shiva's, and her hairstyle and headpiece match his.
2. Shiva's right arms and hands curve inward toward Uma, while her left arm and hand curve inward toward him, creating a closed, encompassing form.
3. An implied line running from Shiva's gaze down his upper left arm, through Uma's upper torso and along her left arm and hand, joins the pair formally and thematically.
