介绍（中）	这幅对湿婆神族的壮丽描绘是位于印度西部浦那的奇特拉萨拉出版社最早、最受欢迎的版画之一。湿婆和他的妻子Parvati年轻英俊的脸直接凝视着观众，让奉献者参与达尔善的行为，"看到神圣"。神圣的家族，穿着华丽，装饰华丽，坐在宝座上，背部和侧面都有尖尖的雕刻狮子和浓密的鬃毛。湿婆用下臂拥抱Parvati和他们的次子Ganesha，同时用双手高举三叉戟和斧头。湿婆的小牛Vrsabha（通常被称为Nandi，"快乐的"）面朝着他的主坐在沙发上，穿着一条华丽的绿色天鹅绒毯子，上面有金色的花朵徽章，脖子上戴着金色的挽具和一串铃铛。这个场景有一种摄影棚构图的舞台感，以喜马拉雅山脉的雪峰为背景。毫无疑问，艺术家在这幅作品中直接借鉴了这种舞台表演。
介绍（英）	This magnificent rendering of Shiva’s divine family is one of the earliest and most popular prints of Chitrashala Press, based in Pune, western India. The youthful and handsome faces of Shiva and his wife Parvati gaze directly at the viewer, engaging the devotee in the act of darshan, ‘seeing the Divine’. The holy family, richly dressed and adorned, seated on a throne with a cusped back and sides featuring carved lions with heavy manes. Shiva embraces both Parvati and their second son Ganesha with his lower arms, while holding aloft his trident (trisula) and ax in his upper hands. Shiva’s calf-bull Vrsabha (popularly known as Nandi, ‘the joyful’) sits couchant facing his Lord, wearing a splendid blanket of green velvet with golden floral medallion border, a golden harness and chain of bells around his neck. This scene has the staged feel of a photographic studio composition, with the snowy peaks of the Himalayas as the painted backdrop. Undoubtedly the artist was directly drawing on such staged theatrics in this composition.
