In a moment of pure trance, the Odissi dancer achieves oneness with the Lord of Dance, Nataraja- a magnificent spiritual moment which has been masterfully captured in this poster color on canvas by Nisha Singh. Dressed in traditional attire, the female dancer strikes the famous pose of Nataraja, balancing her body and mind on the curved foot of Shiva, whose sacredness and power have been narrated in the lyrical poetry of Tamil Shaiva devotees.
Her right-hand points to her feet in Suchi mudra, a gesture of focusing the mind on one thing, while the left dangles in Gaja-hastha mudra. Immersing in Shiva-tattva (the essence of Shiva) that surrounds her, represented by the Nataraja icon in the background, the dancer experiences a burst of divine energy within, highlighted in her ambiance by the brilliant red, the color of Shakti.
