According to the Thiruvilaiyaadal Puranam (a Tamil Shiva text illustrating the divine plays of Shiva), a Pandya king of Madurai - Rajashekhara Pandya once learned the art of dance and realized that it was a painful feat, standing on one leg for too long.

A devotee of Shiva, the king asked Nataraja to take a rest from his pose, which is when Nataraja changed his pose, raising his right leg in the air, instead of the usual left seen in Nataraja bronzes.

This is why, the Madurai Nataraja dances with his right leg in the air, a divine play or Lila known as "Kaal maari aadiya patalam" in Tamil.

An episode brimming with the devotion of the devotee and benevolence of the deity, who is swift in answering the prayers of the king, it appears to be the inspiration behind this rare bronze, depicting Shiva balancing himself on his left leg.

The ornate Jatabhara (adorned tresses) with crescent moon and Ganga, attributes of Nataraja and Apasmara feature in the icon. Smiling gracefully, Nataraja appears to be pleased with the devotee. He drinks the deadly Halahala to protect the world but gratifies the devotee due to his unblemished devoutness. God truly is bonded by the delicate ties of devotion!
