Description

6" Brass Sculpture of Lord Shiva as Nataraja

This exquisite brass sculpture captures the essence of Nataraja, "The Lord of Dance," encapsulated within "the Prabha Mandala," a ring of fire symbolizing the endless cycle of creation and dissolution. Lord Shiva stands on a lotus pedestal, denoting purity, with his dynamic posture. One hand holds "the Damaru," echoing the cosmic rhythm, while another wields "Agni," signifying the perpetual cycle of life and decay. His flowing, matted locks (Jataa) signify divine bliss. The "Abhaya Mudra" gesture of his right hand offers reassurance and fearlessness. Beneath his foot, Nataraja subdues "Apasmara Purusha," the personification of ignorance, marking the victory of wisdom over illusion. This brass masterpiece beautifully represents the cosmic balance of creation and destruction, symbolizing the journey towards spiritual awakening.
