Shiva Nataraj statue - brass
- Height: 20cm
Shiva is a divine personality from Hinduism. Shiva is known as 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 dance (nata) is considered a symbol of the eternal movement of the universe. Shiva Nataraj is usually surrounded by a ring of flames that offers protection against all harmful external influences, but he is also the fire of destruction of the old from which the new can arise, symbolising the eternal cycle of existence. In his right hand he holds a small drum, which represents the rhythm of creation. His mantra is Aum, the primordial sound from which creation arose. With his second right hand, he makes the mudra of reassurance. With his left hand, Shiva holds a torch or flame as a symbol of destruction and renewal. The downward-curved left arm symbolises obedient humility.
