Nataraja, a Sanskrit term, “Nata” means “act, drama, dance”, “Raja” meaning “king, lord”, translated as “Lord of the Dance” or “King of Dance”.
Nataraja, Natesa, Nateshwara (South India) and Nrityesvara (North India) – all the terms meaning “Lord of the Dance”.
Nataraja, a depiction of Hindu god Shiva as the divine cosmic dancer.
The sculpture is symbolic of Shiva as the lord of dance and dramatic arts.
The two most common forms of Shiva’s dance – Lasya, the gentle form associated with creation of the world, Ananda Tandava, the vigorous form associated with destruction.
The statue of Nataraj made of black granite, is unique in a way that it depicts Shiva in a dance form with 6 hands holding various elements of symbolic representation.
The dwarf upon whom Nataraja dances is the demon Apasmara purusha (Muyalaka, as he is known in Tamil), and who symbolises the demonic evil and ignorance over which the sacred dance of Shiva gives victory.
A unique work of art that can be placed in any appropriate indoor space of your choice.
