Description

 

Shiva Nataraj Brass statue. The colour is created by applying a two-toned lacquer coating; firstly, a copper-coloured coating is applyed to the statue, and after that a golden coloured coating.

 

Shiva is a divine Hindu personality. Shiva is the destroyer of all evil and is often depicted with a trident. Shiva is the husband of Parvati and their son is Ganesh.

The cosmic dance of Shiva Nataraj as king (raja) of the dance (nata) is considered a symbol of the ever moving universe. Shiva Nataraj is mostly surrounded by an aura of flames which offers protection against any disturbing outside influences, but it means also the fire of destruction of the old, making room for the new, symbolising the eternal cycle of existence. In his right hand he holds a small drum, image of the rhythm of creation. His mantra is OM, the primal sound from which the whole creation came forth. With his second right hand Shiva holds a torch or flame, as a symbol of destruction and renewal. The downward left arm symbolises compelling humility.
