Product Description
This is a black, short-sleeved T-shirt featuring a powerful, spiritually significant graphic centered on the back. The design prominently displays the Tripundra—three horizontal white stripes representing the ashes smeared on Lord Shiva's forehead—with a red Trishul (trident) superimposed over them. Encircling this central image is a ring composed of the "Om Namah Shivaya" mantra repeated multiple times in Devanagari script. It’s a bold piece of apparel for devotees of Lord Shiva.
Design Content Breakdown
The graphic on the back of the shirt consists of three primary elements, all deeply rooted in Shaivism (the tradition focused on Lord Shiva):
1. *Tripundra (The Three Stripes):
* These are the three horizontal white lines drawn across the forehead by Shaivites.
* They symbolize various triads, such as the three Gunas (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas), the three worlds, the three aspects of consciousness, or the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh (Shiva).
2. *Trishul (The Trident):
* The three-pronged spear held by Lord Shiva, colored red in this design.
* It represents Shiva’s power to destroy the three worlds or overcome the three sources of pain (physical, mental, and spiritual). The point is often seen as the single ultimate reality.
3. Mantra Inscription:
The text forming the circle around the central image is the Panchakshara Mantra (five-syllable mantra): "Om Namah Shivaya"(text{ॐ नमः शिवाय}).
* This is one of the most sacred and important mantras in Hinduism, dedicated to Lord Shiva, meaning "Adoration to Shiva." The repetition creates a continuous, protective, and meditative boundary around the core symbolism.
