Answer 2

Artists depicted Shiva in a meditative pose

Step-by-step explanation:

Hindu art (restricting us only to visual, plastic arts) has its manifestation seen mainly in architecture, iconography (painting) and sculpture. The themes of Hindu art are related to the interaction between existing beings and the Universe as a whole. So, the variation of the represented icons concerns both the Indian cosmogony, that is, the way in which Hindu culture understands the origin of the Universe, as well as cosmology, that is, the way in which the Indians see the harmony between the created world, the gods, animals and men.
