A Shiva deity in Haridwar

This is a picture of a Shiva deity in Haridwar. When in Haridwar, Uttaranchal, Paramahamsa suddenly took very ill. A young man calling himself Shankar Maharaj and claiming to be from a nearby ashram approached him with medicines and food, took care of him until he got better, and left. After getting well, Paramahamsa found his way to the ashram and asked for him. He was told there was no one by that name there but that the Shiva deity there was known by that name. Paramahamsa was taken aback and to his amazement saw that the diamond pen that the man had on him was on the Shiva deity. He stood filled with mixed emotions of disbelief and gratitude. Paramahamsa experienced in many mystical ways, the invisible hand of Existence caring for him in his days of quest.
