Nataraja | Shiva, Cosmic Dance & Symbolism
Nataraja's power is the cosmic dance (Ananda Tandava), symbolizing the cycles of creation, preservation, and destruction.
Origin
नट (nata) - dancer + राज (raja) - king; Cosmic dancer form of Shiva.
Description
Nataraja represents the Hindu god Shiva in his cosmic dancer form. Depicted in metal or stone in Shaivite temples, particularly in South India, Nataraja has four arms and dances on a dwarf, symbolizing human ignorance. His gestures symbolize the five activities of creation, protection, destruction, embodiment, and release. The dance of creation and doomsday accompanies the dissolution of the universe. Shiva's locks, a ring of flames, and various symbolic elements are integral to the Nataraja sculpture.
