Sri Krishna is often referred to as "Natawara" among Hindus in India, which literally means "the excellent dancer." The ecstatically holy dance that the dark-skinned God did on the heads of the serpent Kaliya earned him this moniker. This lovely hand-crafted copper dancing Krishna statue pays homage to Krishna, from whose movement the classical Indian dance style "Kathaka" gets inspiration. It replicates Krishna's energetic movements as recounted in the Puranas and local traditions. Exuding beauty, Bal-Krishna dances in an animated mood, while a lotus bud, symbolizing the origination of the Universe, is placed under his upraised foot, underlining his majesty as the source of the Srishti and its splendor.
