In this mesmerising bronze sculpture, Nataraja, “the cosmic dancer”, epitomises divine choreography. Encircled by flames, Nataraja stands upon a lotus pedestal, gracefully lifting his leg, symbolising triumph over spiritual ignorance embodied by a trampled demon. His whirling hair, akin to a celestial fan, encapsulates the dynamism of the cosmic dance. In his upper right hand, the Lord of Dance holds a Damaru (Udukai), resonating with the rhythm of creation.
The upper left wields “Agni”, embodying both creation and destruction. A coiled Cobra on his forearm signifies power, while the Abhaya Mudra in his palm radiates reassurance. The lowered left hand, crossing his chest, denotes peace and salvation. Crafted using the ancient “Madhuchista Vidhana (Lost-Wax) technique” this artwork encapsulates the eternal dance of existence, harmonising creation, destruction, and liberation.
