lord nataraja idol

  • Sale! highly detailed, full-length metallic sculpture of the Hindu deity Shiva Nataraja, depicting his cosmic dance (Tandava), is presented against a plain, light gray background. The statue boasts an antique silver-gray finish with deep, dark oxidized recesses that dramatically contrast with polished, lighter raised surfaces, highlighting the intricate carvings and giving it a sense of ancient grandeur. Shiva stands dynamically with his right leg raised high in a classical dance pose, symbolizing liberation, while his left foot firmly crushes the dwarf demon Apasmara (also known as Muyalaka), representing the triumph over ignorance, ego, and illusion. The demon lies supine on the multi-tiered pedestal base, looking upwards with a pained expression. Shiva's four arms are outstretched, each holding significant symbolic attributes: his upper right hand holds a small drum (damaru), signifying creation and the rhythm of the cosmos; his upper left carries a flame (agni), representing destruction and transformation; his lower right hand is raised in the "abhaya mudra," a gesture of fearlessness and protection; and his lower left arm, bent at the elbow, points towards his raised foot in the "gaja hasta" mudra, indicating the path to salvation. His serene facial expression, adorned with a discernible third eye on his forehead and a tall, elaborate crown featuring serpentine elements and possibly the crescent moon, conveys a sense of divine power, calm detachment, and cosmic energy. Long, flowing locks of hair extend outwards, symbolizing the unhindered flow of the sacred Ganges. Shiva is bedecked with traditional Hindu adornments, including multiple necklaces, armlets, bracelets, anklets, and a sacred thread or garland draped across his torso, along with a patterned dhoti or loincloth. Encircling the entire figure of Shiva is a majestic, flaming aureole (prabhamandala) representing the cosmic fire of creation and dissolution, or the universe itself. This circular frame is intricately sculpted with stylized flames or leaves, and at its very apex, a Kirtimukha (face of glory) or similar mythical guardian figure adds a powerful decorative element. The entire composition rests on a robust, multi-tiered circular lotus pedestal base, adorned with deeply carved lotus petals and intricate patterns, providing a stable foundation for this complex and symbolic artwork. This detailed representation of Shiva Nataraja is a significant piece for understanding Hindu philosophy, sacred art, and the cyclical nature of existence.
