Shiva and the Skull Garland
The skull garland (mundamala) worn by Shiva in certain depictions is not a symbol of morbidity but of his mastery over death and time itself — a reminder that even mortality falls within his domain, not outside his authority.
Why this image
This more fierce, ascetic depiction contrasts with Shiva’s gentler forms, appealing to a different facet of his character.
