Bought this in Arsha Vidya Gurukulam of Swami Dayanandha Saraswathi in Pennsylvania. In most of the pictures, you would see blue color given to Lord Shiva, which is wrong. Although, He is a neelakandan, His color is golden (this is not my interpretation!). Swami Dayanandha Saraswathi says and also I have heard in other Baghavatham lectures. This poster has been done well. Thought of sharing with you all.

Very nice Shri. Mahesh! Beautiful…
Nice picture. In paintings, should the neck show blue colour of Aalakaala Visham which Lord Shiva swallowed to save the world?
‘chitram vata-taror moole vridha sishya gurur yuva……………………’ Under the shade of the banian tree, the young guru is sitting whereas his ‘sishyas’ are old. When He shows his ‘chin mudra’ folding the tumb and index indicating merge of aatma and paramaatma, all the sishyas doubts are dispelled.
this picture is excellent. it is logical as pointed out by my very young grandson that the colour should be golden because lord shiva is white and not blue. n.ramaswami
It is very good to bring this to public knowledge as Lord Siva is always described as red in color because it is the color of the flame. Action should be taken to stop using blue color for our lord.
Nice.
Fantastique
Super.
