Nataraja-
Shiva as the Lord of Dance, embodying the cosmic movement and stillness in his
presence, breathes life into metal in this brass statue.
Placed on a two-tiered peetham, Nataraja stands on an inverted lotus platform,
in his characteristic posture, with his four arms, dynamically unfurled Jatas
(locks), Naga (serpent) and sash- all amplifying the sense of animation of the
icon. A majestic aureole of fire on the outside and petal motifs on the inside
surrounds the dancing Shiva, who quells Apasmara, the demon of ignorance under
his foot. A splendid attention to detail can be seen in the miniature images of
Ganga and Naga in the hair of Shiva, floral patterns on the scarf and the
divine expressions of Nataraja, which come together to give this metal murti an
exquisite artistic appeal.
