The great Indian epic Mahabharata contains the story of how the heavenly Ganga, came on earth and became the holiest of all rivers. King Bhagiratha, in order to salvage the souls of his ancestors, performed Tapasya, and as a result, Ganga was ordered to descend.
However, regulating the torrential flow of the mighty river was not a task for just anyone. Shiva was invoked by Bhagairatha to save the earth from the impact of Ganga’s descent. As seen in this brass statue, Shiva opened his jata, and Ganga was enveloped in his tresses, her flow adjusted safely. Shiva has four hands, with his attributes in three, while the fourth hand points at the figure of Ganga who is taking her place in the locks of Mahadeva.
