Bhagawan Shiva’s Nataraja images are characterized by an elaborate flaming aureole that effectively sets off the exquisite design of the figure’s pose. The form suspends a four-armed Shiva in the midst of dance, presenting a complex juxtaposition of limbs: two back hands evenly extended, two from hands moving outwards with one hand pointing down, the other held up, one leg bent, pressing downwards, and the other lifted, moving upwards and outwards in an impossibly graceful way. This pose creates a powerful rhythm that undoubtedly embodies the awesome energy of Lord Shiva.
While there are various specific iconographic details included in the image, such as the small figure representing ignorance, which Shiva tramples upon (giving us the boon of Jnana), it is certainly the display of arrested movement - simultaneously balanced and energetic, that makes this form the most successful representation of Bhagawan Shiva’s power, delineating the idealized beauty of the Lord's figure.
