The iconographical attributes of Shiva are the serpent around his neck, the adorning crescent moon, the holy river Ganga flowing from his matted hair, the third eye on his forehead, the trishula or trident, as his weapon, and the damaru drum.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe earliest written reference of dreadlocks is found in Vedic scriptures, holy Hindu texts dating back to 1500BC, in which Lord Shiva’s hair is referred to as ‘jata’, a sanskrit word meaning “twisted locks of hair”. In almost all visual depictions of Lord Shiva, he is seen with locks of hair flowing past his shoulders or tied above his head in what is called, ‘jatamukuta’ (crown of matted hair). For devotees, Shiva’s hair is of such importance that the sacred river Ganges is believed to flow from his matted locks. In some cultures, especially in South Asia and the Middle East, allowing uncombed hair to form into matted locks is a symbol of the rejection of materialism and vanity. In India, these religious ascetics with locks are referred to as ‘sadhus’.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the Shaivite tradition, Shiva is the Supreme Lord who creates, protects and transforms the universe. There are many both benevolent and fearsome depictions of Shiva. In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash. He is regarded as the patron god of yoga, meditation and arts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- x-tinymce\/html --\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"113\" data-end=\"129\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"113\" data-end=\"129\"\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a \u003cstrong data-start=\"140\" data-end=\"171\"\u003edigital 3D model (STL\/3mf file)\u003c\/strong\u003e for \u003cstrong data-start=\"176\" data-end=\"191\"\u003e3D printing\u003c\/strong\u003e – \u003cstrong data-start=\"194\" data-end=\"219\"\u003enot a physical object\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr data-start=\"220\" data-end=\"223\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eNo physical product will be shipped.\u003cbr data-start=\"259\" data-end=\"262\"\u003eAfter purchase, \u003cstrong data-start=\"278\" data-end=\"296\"\u003edownload links\u003c\/strong\u003e will be shown on your screen and \u003cstrong data-start=\"330\" data-end=\"352\"\u003esent to your email\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr data-start=\"353\" data-end=\"356\"\u003ePlease read the full \u003cstrong data-start=\"377\" data-end=\"400\"\u003ewebsite description\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong data-start=\"405\" data-end=\"414\"\u003eterms\u003c\/strong\u003e before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VedicFutura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42893059555526,"sku":"","price":449.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/0608\/7366\/files\/vfSQ_10_CLR25b-19.jpg?v=1731344762","url":"https:\/\/vedicfutura.com\/products\/shiva-jatadhar-the-one-with-matted-hair","provider":"VedicFutura","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
