Nataraja, “the cosmic dancer”, embodies the sublime paradox of creation and destruction, a mesmerising manifestation of cosmic energies. Encircled by a ring of flames, Nataraja stands on a lotus pedestal, one leg gracefully lifted, triumphing over the demon of ignorance. His dance, dynamic and captivating, is accentuated by whirling strands of hair fanning out behind him. In his upper hands, a “Damaru (Udukai)” beats the rhythm of the universe, and flames symbolise the dual forces of creation and destruction. A Cobra uncoils, signifying cosmic energy, while the “Abhaya Mudra” assures protection. The lowered left hand, concealing his heart, signifies tranquillity and ultimate salvation, making Nataraja a divine embodiment of cosmic harmony.
