nataraja vigraham

  • 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.

  • large, intricately carved, deep forest green or jade-colored stone relief sculpture, showcasing exceptional traditional Indian craftsmanship and a powerful mythological scene. The central panel prominently features the divine Hindu couple, Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati (often referred to as Uma Maheshwara), seated majestically within an ornate, cusped archway with elaborate scrollwork and decorative motifs. Lord Shiva, depicted on the left, has a serene expression, an elaborate crown or jata (matted hair arrangement), and traditional adornments like necklaces, armbands, and anklets. He holds his right hand in a gesture of blessing or teaching (likely abhaya mudra or vitarka mudra), while his left arm gently embraces Parvati. His body is strong and muscular, characteristic of divine male forms in Indian iconography, with his legs folded in a relaxed posture. On his right, Devi Parvati reclines gracefully, her arm gently resting on Shiva's lap or shoulder, embodying feminine elegance and poise. She wears a similar intricate crown or elaborate hairstyle and rich jewelry, her form exquisitely rendered. Together, they symbolize cosmic harmony, creation, and the union of masculine and feminine energies. Above the divine couple, within the arch, Shiva's iconic three-pronged trident (Trishul) is carved, strongly confirming his identity. At their feet, their respective divine vehicles (Vahanas) are depicted: Nandi, the sacred bull, lies peacefully to Shiva's left, and a lion, often associated with Parvati in her warrior forms (like Durga), rests to her right. The entire panel is densely packed with supporting figures and narrative elements. The upper register of the sculpture is crowded with numerous smaller figures of celestial beings, Rishis (sages), Ganas (Shiva's attendants), and devotees. Many are shown in attitudes of reverence, prayer (anjali mudra), playing musical instruments, or performing celestial dances, creating a dynamic sense of a divine court or a sacred gathering. At the very top, a stylized Kirtimukha (a fearsome guardian mask common in Hindu temple architecture) is carved, often symbolizing protection and auspiciousness. The side panels and the elaborate, multi-tiered base are also richly adorned with more miniature figures, including narrative scenes, additional attendants, and intricate decorative motifs like floral patterns, swirling tendrils, and geometric designs, adding to the overall grandeur and detailed storytelling of the piece. The smooth, polished surface of the deep green stone reflects light subtly, highlighting the three-dimensional depth and meticulous detail of the high-relief carving. This stunning piece exemplifies traditional Hindu devotional art and serves as a powerful visual representation of sacred narratives, making it highly relevant for articles discussing Hindu mythology, iconography, ancient Indian stone carving techniques, or the cultural and spiritual significance of divine couples like Shiva and Parvati.

  • detailed bronze sculpture depicting a powerful, multi-armed Hindu tantric goddess, likely Chinnamasta or a similar fierce manifestation, rendered in an antique, dark patinated finish. The deity is seated dynamically in a cross-legged meditative pose, with an intense and focused expression on her face, possibly with eyes closed or downcast. A dramatic, flame-like halo or wild, flowing hair forms an arch behind her head, emphasizing her formidable presence and divine energy. Her most prominent feature is her action: with her upper left hand, she holds a skull cup (kapala) to her lips, appearing to drink deeply from it. She possesses multiple arms, each gracefully holding significant symbolic implements. In her upper right hand, she firmly grasps a spherical object, possibly a severed head or a symbolic orb, while her lower right hand holds a prominent trident (trishula) or a ritual staff, pointing downwards. Her lower left hand cradles a smaller, ornate pot or another skull cup. The goddess is richly adorned with intricate jewelry, including necklaces, armlets, and waist chains, which might depict serpents or stylized patterns, enhancing her divine and often fierce iconography. Beneath her, two smaller, prostrate figures lie horizontally, serving as her pedestal; these figures, perhaps Shiva and Parvati or other deities, are rendered in a more simplified, reclining form. The entire sculpture rests upon a robust, textured base resembling stylized lotus petals or rugged, rocky terrain, grounding the mystical scene. This artwork powerfully conveys themes of sacrifice, transformation, cosmic energy, and the transcendence of mortal limitations, often associated with tantric spiritual practices.

  • stunning, intricately carved statue of Lord Ganesha, the revered Hindu deity, is captured against a plain, dark gray to black gradient background, highlighting its exquisite detail and craftsmanship. The sculpture is made from a warm, reddish-pink sandstone, giving it a soft, earthy hue and texture that showcases the delicate carving work. Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, is the central figure, depicted in a majestic and relaxed seated posture (Lalitasana), with his right leg folded and his left leg gently pendant, resting on the ornate pedestal. He possesses his characteristic elephant head with large fanned ears, a gracefully curved trunk pointing towards his left, and a single tusk, signifying wisdom and sacrifice. Adorned with a magnificent tiered crown, multiple necklaces, armlets, bracelets, and a sacred thread (yajnopaveetam) draped across his chest, his divine form is richly ornamented. He is shown with four arms, symbolizing his divine power and ability. In his upper right hand, he holds an ankusha (goad), and in his upper left, a pasha (noose). His lower right hand is raised in the abhaya mudra, a gesture of blessing and reassurance, while his lower left hand cradles his favorite sweet, a modak (dumpling). Ganesha is enshrined within an elaborately carved, multi-tiered mandapam or archway, forming a complete shrine. The base is a broad, intricate pedestal adorned with continuous swirling floral patterns, vines, and ornate scrollwork. Flanking Ganesha, two exquisitely sculpted pillars rise upwards, supporting the canopy. At the base of these pillars, two smaller, gracefully standing attendant figures or deities are depicted, adding to the scene's devotional narrative. Above Ganesha's head, the canopy extends upwards in multiple layers of delicate artistry, featuring intricate floral motifs, leafy designs, and geometric patterns. Small, meticulously carved bells hang from the eaves of the canopy, suggesting a sense of movement and sound. The very top of the structure culminates in a multi-tiered, crown-like finial, adding to its grandiosity. Behind Ganesha's head, a circular prabhavali (aureole) is carved with radiating lotus petal or sunburst designs, emphasizing his divine presence. Near his feet, on the pedestal, his faithful vahana (mount), Mooshika the mouse, is depicted, often shown nibbling on a sweet. This beautiful Ganesha sculpture, highlighting the finesse of traditional Indian stone carving, would be a focal point in any spiritual or artistic collection. Its detailed features and devotional essence connect deeply to Hindu traditions of veneration and exquisite artisan craftsmanship, making it ideal for discussions on religious art, decorative stone work, or traditional Indian cultural artifacts.
