Lord Nataraja, “the divine dancer”, embodies the cosmic rhythm in an awe-inspiring tableau. Encircled by a “fiery Prabha Mandala”, He is the cosmic conductor, orchestrating the eternal dance of creation and destruction. With each graceful step, his right foot crushes the “Demon Apasmara”, the symbol of ignorance, igniting the path to enlightenment.
As Nataraja whirls, his hair fans out like a cosmic halo, signifying the boundless universe in perpetual motion. His four hands hold profound symbols – “the Damaru”, pulsating with the primal heartbeat of existence; “Agni”, the dual force of creation and destruction; and “the Abhaya Mudra”, offering protection and dispelling fear. His lower hand points to the uplifted left foot, guiding us towards devotion and spiritual purification.
A serpent (Vasuki) winds around his arm, epitomising mastery over the potent Kundalini energy. Nataraja’s dance is an eternal reminder of the balance between creation and dissolution, the cosmic symphony that encapsulates existence itself.
