Nice brindAjI. I like the way in which Siva is depicted in a Sankha. The triSUla behind pArvati too is impressive. The snakes and Dhamaruka too have come out nicely. If you don't mind, you seem to have interchanged the colours of Siva and pArvati. Siva (except for his neck) is fair complexioned and pArvati (vishNu's sister) is dark. Where is subrahmaNya?

I learned something new today mOhanaji, I was under the impression that Shivji is dark complexioned (not just the neck part, but until the neck), and Goddess Parvathiji is fair.

We have the famous prayer to SyAmalA, mAtA marakataSyAmA (dark like the precious stone marakata) mAtaMgI madhuSAlinI. SyAmalA also means dark. SyAmA means night. SyAmakaMtha means Siva, also a peacock whose neck is blue. Regards! - mOhana

Thank you all for the nice little explanations. No, I am not an artist Priya rao. I just learned this myself and try my hands at different types of hand work.
