"Shiva's Tandava symbolizes the cosmic cycles of creation and destruction."
The Nataraja, handcrafted in India, represents Lord Shiva in his cosmic dance, the Tandava. As the "King of Dancers," Shiva's dance symbolizes the eternal rhythm of the universe, with the fire representing creation and destruction. His raised foot signifies salvation and release from the cycle of birth and death. With the other foot crushing the demon, Shiva overcomes ignorance. The drum and the fire in his hands denote the heartbeat of the cosmos. Observing this sculpture, we are reminded of the ever-flowing dance of life, where creation and destruction are inseparable.
