The ruling god is thought of as having a heavenly home within the Hindu temple. The outside of the edifice, which is stepped, indented, and towering, is reminiscent of Indra’s heavens’ mountains, which are home to the gathering of gods as well as celestial beauty, dancers, and musicians. This magnificent rendering of a celestial celebrant dancing in the presence of the gods is carved in life-size sandstone.
The dancer’s physique and face are presented in accordance with established standards of beauty. Her head and upper torso are turned sharply to the left, and her legs are projecting out to the right in an unnatural pose. The severe flexion is reminiscent of the karunas and sthanas (dancing stances) that are described in the Natyasastra, an old manual on theatrical arts. Indian aesthetics holds that such stances increase the appreciation of beauty.
This statue was an embellishment on a Hindu temple in Uttar Pradesh, in northern India, around the 12th century. She embodies one of several heavenly or semidivine servants who dance reverently for the temple’s principal god. Real ladies who danced for the deity in order to appease him were retained in certain temple troupes.
A stylistic departure from the simple surfaces of the Gupta dynasty is evident. The striking jewellery and outfit highlight surface embellishment, especially in contrast to the smooth, plentiful flesh. The heightened posture draws emphasis to the figure’s dynamic outlines. The spikes on the crown, the swinging necklace, and the waist tassels heighten the sense of rhythmic, dancing movement and give the abstract body realism.
The Stone Studio crew put a lot of work into bringing the statue to life, and the result is a stunning sculpture that is a replica of an ancient sculpture. The beautifully carved sculpture is a masterpiece that may draw guests to your home. No equipment is employed in the carving of the sculpture’s details; everything is done by hand.
