Shiva Nataraja Statue – Lord of the Cosmic Dance – 23 cm
Symbolism of the Tandava Dance
The iconography of Shiva Nataraja is rich with meaning, representing the rhythm of existence:
- Ring of Fire (Prabha Mandala): Shiva dances within a circle of flames, representing the cosmos and the cyclical nature of time.
- The Drum (Damaru): Held in his upper right hand, the hourglass drum generates the sound of creation and the heartbeat of life.
- The Fire (Agni): Held in his upper left hand, the flame signifies transformation and the destruction of the old to make way for the new.
- The Dwarf (Apasmara): Shiva tramples upon a dwarf demon representing ignorance and ego, symbolising the triumph of wisdom.
- The Raised Foot: His uplifted left leg represents liberation (Moksha) and grace for the devotee.
Usage and Care Instructions
This statue is a perfect gift for dancers, yoga practitioners, or anyone interested in Eastern philosophy. It serves as a reminder of balance amidst change. To ensure the longevity of your statue:
- Display it indoors only. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the detailed finish.
- Dust regularly with a soft, dry brush or cloth. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners as they may strip the patina.
- Place it on a stable surface. Polyresin is durable but can chip if dropped.
