54'' Nataraja | Madhuchista Vidhana (Lost-Wax) | Panchaloha Bronze from Swamimalai
Seizing the grace to its glory, Natraja’s movement represents freedom in stillness - represented by the flowing web of his matted locks. Wearing a crown of feathers, his head adornments of the crescent moon and skull are juxtaposed to highlight the paradox of beauty and grim, bedecked in marvelous jewels; yet who’s a favorite band remain the serpents - his raised foot is the refuge to the lost and as the other one crushes the demon of ignorance. This idol in the Panchaloha bronze of Chatura Tandava testifies Shiva, who’s third eye is the focus of reality - drawing together the timelessness and spacelessness.
