This
Kalamkari painting on cotton pays respect to Nataraja. The idea behind this
painting is to encourage the human race to pursue knowledge rather than engage
in unintellectual activities. The destroyers, or fundamental forces of
creation, are the log-matted locks that flow freely. Lord Shiva is regarded as
the master of life and death, and the serpent coiled around his neck and his
lower right arm (in Varada Mudra) represents regeneration.
The Gaja
hasta mudra, or posture, is shown on the lower left hand. The second footsteps
firmly on the dwarf of ignorance, allowing wisdom to emerge. He stands atop the
Apasmara, whom he has killed; he is known as Natesa. The painting further uses
the smart technique of creating a dark background to make the light-colored
figure of the deity prominent.
