The glorious Nataraja, in the midst of His all-annihilating tandava. Left leg raised mid-air, the right pressing down upon the back of the avidya-roopi Apasmara. Abhaya va gajahasta mudra of the anterior hands. In the posterior hands, the damroo (creative) and the flame (destructive).

A pure brass Nataraja, made by hand in the studios of India’s distinguished artisans. The image of the Nataraja is the very symbol of India and Indian culture. It is a quintessential item in any traditional art-loving Indian home; and, iconographically speaking, the one that you see on this page is just the one.

The flaming aureole (prabhavali) and the high, multi-tiered plinth complete the Nataraja iconography. Lotus petals are as integral to the same as the multiple quanta of flame.

The Cosmic Dance of Shiva

Behold a representation of Nataraja, the dancing form of Shiva, meticulously crafted in brass. This statue captures a dynamic moment – a glimpse into the eternal cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction that defines the cosmos. More than a decorative object, it is a symbol of profound philosophical and spiritual significance. The meticulous detailing and the warm luster of the brass add to the sense of the divine.

Shiva: The Destroyer and the Creator

Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism, is often misunderstood as merely the destroyer. However, destruction in Shiva's context is transformative. He dissolves the old, the stagnant, and the corrupt, paving the way for new beginnings. His dance, the Tandava, is not a chaotic frenzy but a rhythmic expression of cosmic energy, a constant interplay of opposing forces. The matted hair of shiva stream behind him from the motion of his dance. A snake, representing kundalini energy is wrapped around the waist.

The Iconography of Nataraja

Each element in the Nataraja iconography tells a story. Shiva dances within a circle of flames (Prabha Mandala), representing the universe, kept in motion by the dynamic energy of his dance. His upper right hand holds the damaru (a drum), symbolizing the sound of creation, the primordial vibration from which the universe emanates. The opposite hand holds Agni (fire), representing destruction and transformation. His raised left foot signifies liberation, offering solace to those who seek refuge in him. His lower right hand is in the Abhaya Mudra (gesture of reassurance), bestowing protection and dispelling fear. Beneath his right foot lies Apasmara, the dwarf demon of ignorance, whom Shiva crushes, symbolizing the triumph of knowledge over illusion. The face of shiva is serene, amidst the chaos around him. A reminder to look within yourself for stillness.

A Treasure of Indian Artistry

This statue is not only a representation of a divine being, but also a testament to the skill and artistry of Indian craftsmen. The statue has been handcrafted, using methods passed down through generations. Adding beauty and spirituality to your home, or as a gift for someone that you care about.
