Note the failure to mention that religious
strife has rocked the country forever.
And, that
Shiva and Parvati didn't
stop the

"Composite image of Shiva and Parvati as
Ardhanari," circa 1000,
from Nepal.
In this sculpture, the god Shiva and his consort Parvati
(an incarnation of Devi)
are united in the single image of Ardhanari
– literally, half-woman.
The piece is split right down the middle,
Shiva on the left and Parvati on the right.
