Markandeya, Yama in Šiva ; Mladenič, ki objema Šiva lingam, ikonično obliko Šive je Markandeja. Preklet je bil, da bo umrl pri 16 letih. Ko Yama, bog smrti, ki ga vidimo na potisku na njegovem vozilu bivola, pride po dečka, se Šiva pojavi iz svoje ikonične oblike, da bi rešil otroka. Šiva je viden s svojim trizobom in majhnim ženskim obrazom rečne boginje Gange na njegovi glavi. / The young man clutching the Siva linga, iconic form of Siva, is Markandeya. He was cursed to die at the age of 16. When Yama, god of death, seen in the print on his vehicle buffalo, comes to take the boy, Siva emerges out of his iconic form to save the child. Siva is seen with his trident and a small female face, that of river Goddess Ganga is seen on his head, 24,4 x 35,3.
