Shiva as the Lord of dance, Nataraja is the iconic image in Hindu statuary and instantly recognizable as one of the most famous and gracious images in Asian Art
Nataraja is the Creator & Destroyer of the Universe
A depiction of the Hindu god Shiva as the divine dancer
Shiva’s cosmic dance sets in motion the rhythm of life and death and pervades the universe, symbolized by the ring of fire that is filled with the loose snakelike locks of the god’s hair
He dances within the three rings of the fiery arch or prahabhamandala encircling his dancing form each ring representing fire, (outside) earth, (middle) and water (inside)
Nataraja is associated with the destruction and creation of the world
He is balancing over a demon who symbolizes ignorance
This Nataraja has good balance and proportion which are the most important aspect of a Nataraja sculpture
