Lord Shiva as the mendicant.
Shivji with Damru. Note how the strings of this hourglass shaped drum are forming the curves of AUM..
symbolic of Shiva being the creator,maintainer and
re -absorber. In hand is his portable flask,and in the upper hand he holds esoteric notes, to share scriptural knowledge with others.
the long trident is his hallmark.besides being a weapon, it symbolises the triad of siva's systems, such as shiva shakti and nara, pati pasa and pasu,the absolute, the manifest and the intermediate.iccha gyan kriya, the three gunas etc.
