Dimensions : 25(H) * 16(W) The Nataraja, an exquisite representation of Lord Shiva's cosmic dance, is beautifully captured in this 25-inch sculpture made from pink soapstone. In this artwork, Lord Shiva is depicted performing the Tandava, symbolizing the eternal cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction. With his rhythmic movements, he triumphs over Apasmara, the demon of ignorance, who lies beneath his feet, symbolizing the triumph of knowledge and wisdom over darkness and delusion. This handmade sculpture intricately portrays Lord Shiva in his form as Nataraja, adorned with a flowing mane, multiple arms holding symbolic items like the damaru and fire, while his cosmic dance stirs the universe into motion. The serene expression of his face, along with the graceful yet powerful posture, exudes divine energy. As described in the ancient texts, "Natarajastu Mahadevah, Tandavam Srushti Laya Karanah" – Nataraja is the great God, the cause of creation and destruction through his dance.
