Name, Medium, Period, Dynasty, Collection

1.Trimurti
2.Mother & Child
3.Cymbal Player
4.Natraj

Answer 1

Answer:

The trimurti collapses the three gods into a single form with three faces. Each god is in charge of one aspect of creation, with Brahma as creator, Vishnu as preserver, and Shiva as destroyer. In combining the three deities in this way, however, the doctrine elides the fact that Vishnu is not merely a preserver and Shiva is not merely a destroyer. Moreover, while Vishnu and Shiva are widely worshipped in India, very few temples are dedicated to Brahma, who is expressly said to have lost his worshippers as the result of telling a lie and is merely entrusted with the task of creation under the direction of one of the other two gods. Scholars consider the doctrine of the trimurti to be an attempt to reconcile different approaches to the divine with each other and with the philosophical doctrine of ultimate reality (brahman).

Explanation:

Natraj

Naṭarāja) (Tamil: நடராஜர்)[1] is a depiction of the Hindu god Shiva as the divine cosmic dancer. His dance is called Tandavam or Nadanta, depending on the context of the dance.[2][3] The pose and artwork is described in many Hindu texts such as the Anshumadbhed agama and Uttarakamika agama, the dance murti featured in all major Hindu temples of Shaivism,[4] and is a well known sculptural symbol in India and popularly used as a symbol of Indian culture,[5][6] in particular as one of the finest illustrations of Hindu art.[7][8]
