Namaste Michael, there is a poster that I saw many years ago,

containing the 11 forms of Lord Rudra. So I guess there would be

images of Rudra out there. Right now, the only representation I can

think of is 11 mukhi rudraksha which as you know, symbolizes the 11

Rudras.

 

There is also a book titled : Ekadash Rudra Sihva. This means the 11

forms of Shiva, of which Rudra is one. The book contains 17 paintings

of Shiva in His different avatars. Suggest that you send an Enquiry

by clicking the link below to enquire if there is a pic of Rudra in

the book..

Rudra, it will be highly appreciated, thank you *****

Book Review: Ekadash Rudra Shiva

 

For devotees of Lord Shiva and all other interested in Hindu

mythology and religious history, the book " Ekadash Rudra Shiva " by

H.K. Jain offers a fascinating insight into the various incarnations

and manifestations of Lord Shiva.

 

Superbly illustrated with 17 paintings of Lord Shiva in his different

Avatars (manifestations), the book contains several interesting and

well-researched tales like the birth of Shiva from Shuchimati's womb

in the form of Grahaspati, the three abodes of Lord Shiva, including

his favorite one at Mount Kailash, and why Shani never torments the

devotees of lord Shiva or those younger than 16 Years of age.

 

Jain, who offers the book " in the form of a prayer " also, brings out

the multifaceted forms of Lord Shiva, who is revered as the creator

and destroyer of the entire universe.

 

According to the Puranas, Lord Shiva is supposed to have the largest

number of devotees for he is worshipped by even the Asuras (demons).

 

The book highlights various little-known episodes like the

incarnation of Lord Shiva as Hanuman, the courageous monkey God. The

book also narrates how Lord Rama came in contact with Hanuman during

his search for his wife Sita, who was abducted by Ravana.

 

Instances from the Mahabharata, the Vedas and the Puranas as well as

various midgets of information make the book a fascinating read for

serious followers of Lord Shiva and also today's youth, for whom the

book would be a captivating journey into India's rich tradition and

religious history.

 

The Author also deals with the history and origin of the Eleven

Rudras – Shambhu, Pinaki, Girisha, Sthanu, Bbarga, Sadashiva, Shiva,

Hara, Sharva, Kapali and Bhava in detail.

 

Another interesting narration in the book is the story of how Shri

Markandeya attained immortality, and the origin of the word " Om " , and

also the " Gayatri mantra " .

 

Apart from the many tales of historical and religious relevance, the

book amply succeeds in bringing to life the different hues and

colours of the many Gods and Goddess in the Hindu pantheon and also

reminds us of universal values like compassion, sincerity, knowledge

and benevolence to all.
