Markandeya Paper Print By Raja Ravi Varma

This paper print Raja Ravi Varma shows Lord Shiva saving his devoted follower Markandeya, who is scheduled to pass away on his sixteenth birthday. However, Markandeya's prayers cause the Lord to emerge from the Shiva linga and halt the death deity Yama. One of the significant immortals in Hindu mythology is Markandeya. As the years passed, the fateful day—his 16th birthday—came when Yama, the god of death, came to take the boy's life. Markandeya was pleading with Lord Shiva when Yama threw his noose, encircling both the Shiva Ling and Markandeya. An enraged Shiva emerged from the Shiva Linga, and Yama became frightened. All the gods trembled and came to appease Shiva and protect Yama.
