Lord of the dance, Shiva is commonly known by its Sanskrit appellation Nataraja. A striking bi-tone Nataraja to bring energy and auspiciousness to the devotee’s personal and/or professional space. He balances himself with his right leg on a dwarf, Apasmara (personification of ignorance) With the left foot hovering in midair, the bent left leg swings across the body in front. A single foot enough to keep the tamasic (inertia-ridden) creature in check. The corresponding leg is raised high in the air, right below the gajahasta-abhaya mudra of the anterior hands. The posterior arms, bearing the usual implements, are opened out in conjunction with his ample, snake-like tresses.
The Nataraja's unique form evokes a special sensation in the hearts of true devotees. Today, every Bharatnatyam dancer dedicates his or her performance to an image of Nataraja. Various metallic Nataraja is available on Exotic India Art. Each of them is strategically superimposed with details and particular attributes of Lord Shiva.
