This Brass Statue is an homage to the Nataraja. The notion of the monument is a message to the human race to pursue knowledge and avoid indulging in unintellectual pursuits. The destroyers, or fundamental forces for creation, are the log-matted locks flowing freely. Lord Shiva is believed to be the controller of life and death, and the serpent wrapped around his lower right arm (in Varada Mudra) symbolizes regeneration. The Gaja hasta mudra, or position, is depicted on the lower left hand. Those who approach him with their left foot up receive eternal pleasure. The second foot firmly steps on the dwarf of ignorance, allowing wisdom to be born. He stands atop the Apasmara, whom he has murdered; he is known as Natesa in this position.
