12IN NATARAJAR

The Nataraja or dancing Shiva is the greatest creation of the Chola epoch and it is universally accepted today as one of the masterpieces of world art.Shiva’s dance is the dance of creation. An intense dynamism pulsates through the whole figure. Nevertheless, it is almost still in its classic balance, stable like the universe with its gyrating galaxies and the miniature solar systems of the smallest atoms with their planetary electrons.The protective gesture of one hand, and the uplifted foot to which the other hand points, indicate that those who seek their sanctuary at the feet of the deity will be free from fear.This celestial Bronze sculpture of Lord Shiva in his Nataraja form is a must-have for all. Exotic India has a wide collection of Nataraja idols, sculpted by the finest craftsmen all over India.
