Description

20 Arm's Nataraja or Nataraj (Hindustani: [nÃÂÃÂtÃÂÃÂªÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂraÃÂÃÂdÃÂÃÂ]), The Lord (or King) of Dance; Tamil: ÃÂ ÃÂ®ÃÂÃÂ ÃÂ¯ÃÂÃÂ ÃÂ®ÃÂ¤ÃÂ ÃÂ¯ÃÂÃÂ ÃÂ®ÃÂ¤ÃÂ ÃÂ®ÃÂ©ÃÂ ÃÂ¯ÃÂ (Kooththan);Telugu:ÃÂ ÃÂ°ÃÂ¨ÃÂ ÃÂ°ÃÂÃÂ ÃÂ°ÃÂ°ÃÂ ÃÂ°ÃÂ¾ÃÂ ÃÂ°ÃÂ is a depiction of the Hindu god Shiva as the cosmic dancer Koothan who performs his divine dance to destroy a weary universe and make preparations for god Brahma to start the process of creation. A Tamil concept, Shiva was first depicted as Nataraja in the famous Chola bronzes and sculptures of Chidambaram and further adopted through successive periods such as this particular one of Khajuraho. The dance of Shiva in Tillai, the traditional name for Chidambaram, forms the motif for all the depictions of Shiva as Nataraja. He is also known as "Sabesan" which splits as "Sabayil aadum eesan" in Tamil which means "The Lord who dances on the dais".
The two most common forms of Shiva's dance are the Lasya (the gentle form of dance), associated with the creation of the world, and the Tandava (the violent and dangerous dance), associated with the destruction of weary worldviews - weary perspectives & lifestyles. In essence, the Lasya and the Tandava are just two aspects of Shiva's nature; for he destroys in order to create, tearing down to build again.
This particular sculpture depicts unparalled intricacy beauty and fluidity amongst a bespoke rarity.
