Nataraja dances, his right foot supported by a crouching figure, his left foot elegantly raised. Of his four arms, one swings downwards, pointing to the raised foot; another with palm held up signals, 'Do not fear!' In his other hands he holds aloft a drum and a flame. The river Ganga sits in his hair. A cobra uncoils from his lower right forearm, and the crescent moon and a skull are on his crest. He dances within an arch of flames.
This Dance of Bliss (Gnandatändava) of lord Shiva has been crafted with the Panchloha Bronze of Swamimalai, capturing each intricate detail in its most sophisticated form.
