Dancing Shiva, “the Nataraja”, is a mesmerising embodiment of cosmic balance and eternal energy. Encircled by the “fiery Prabha Mandala”, Lord Shiva symbolises the ceaseless cycle of creation and destruction within the boundless universe. His right foot crushes the “Demon Apasmara”, the dwarf of illusion and ignorance, asserting his dominance over falsehood.
Nataraja’s vigorous dance is palpable through his whirling hair, fanning like ethereal strands, capturing the essence of dynamic motion. His hands tell a tale of divine orchestration, with the Damaru (Udukai) and fire in the upper limbs signifying both creation and destruction, while the “Abhaya Mudra” offers reassurance and protection.
With a raised foot and a pointed hand, He guides devotees toward spiritual cleansing. A coiled Cobra (Vasuki) on his lower forearm symbolises mastery over “Kundalini energy”. In this brass artwork Nataraja’s cosmic dance reminds us of life’s eternal rhythm, where creation and dissolution dance in harmony.
