Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. They share a belief in love ennobling the loved one.
2. Physical love in Hindu belief compares to the Greek concept of Common Love; Hindu Spiritual Love compares to Greek Heavenly Love.
3. The Greek concept of desire compares to Hindu kama or a state of longing.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. The paired figures are asymmetrically balanced as Uma's leg positions mirror Shiva's, and her hairstyle and headpiece match his.
2. Shiva's right arms and hands curve inward toward Uma, while her left arm and hand curve inward toward him, creating a closed, encompassing form.
3. An implied line running from Shiva's gaze down his upper left arm, through Uma's upper torso and along her left arm and hand, joins the pair formally and thematically.
