Description
62.00 inch Height X 47.00 inch Width X 17.50 inch Depth
The dancing figure of Nataraja, Shiva as the lord of dancers, evolved as a fully developed icon, through the work of local Indian artisans during the Chola period, a little over a thousand years ago. The dance of Shiva is associated with the destruction of the world but there are other dances that he does too. In this handmade bronze idol, he is depicted as killing Apasmara (the dwarf demon of ignorance) and dancing his Anand Tandav dance. The Athi-bhanga posture (many twists in the body and arms) of Nataraja is the portrayal of rhythmic fluidity and youthful energy during the cosmic dance. He perfectly balances himself on his right leg while treading upon the writhing body of the demon, Apasmara. His left leg is lifted across his body in the Bhujanga Trasita stance. This posture signifies falling away from the veil of illusion from the devotee’s mind. His right hand is in the blessing of Abhaya mudra. His left assumes the Gajahasta mudra ensuring the protection of the devotees. His rear right hand hold his damru (the hourglass drum) to that keeps the rhythm during his dance. Left-hand makes ardhachandra mudra, holding a flame in the hollow of his divine palm.
