Nataraja - Brass Statue

Experience the divine beauty and artistic craftsmanship with our Nataraja Brass Statue. Derived from the Sanskrit words "Nata" meaning dance and "Raja" meaning Lord, this exquisite sculpture depicts Lord Shiva in one of his most iconic forms. Legend has it that in a dense forest, Shiva appeared alongside Vishnu in the form of a beautiful woman to confute a group of heretical sages. These sages, in an attempt to destroy Shiva, created various creatures such as a fierce tiger and a monstrous serpent to attack him.

However, Shiva gracefully overcame these challenges, ultimately defeating a malignant dwarf and resuming his dance. The dance of Nataraja represents more than just movement; it symbolizes the union of yoga and dance, inducing trance, ecstasy, and the experience of the divine. Throughout history, dance and meditation have flourished hand in hand, and Shiva, as the arch-yogi of the gods, is the epitome of both. Our Nataraja Brass Statue perfectly captures the essence of this divine form. Crafted in the tradition of beautiful South Indian bronzes dating back to the tenth and twelfth centuries A.D., this sculpture showcases Nataraja gracefully dancing with his right foot supported by a crouching figure and his left foot elegantly raised.

A cobra coils around his lower right forearm, while a crescent moon and a skull adorn his crest. The dance takes place within a captivating arch of flames, known as the Dance of Bliss. Every aspect of this statue has profound meaning. The four arms represent the four cardinal directions, the hour-glass drum in his upper right hand symbolizes creation and the pulse of the universe.

The drum also represents the first and most pervasive element - sound. In fact, the sound of the drum encapsulated the entire Sanskrit grammar when Shiva granted wisdom to Panini, the great Sanskrit grammarian. This Nataraja Brass Statue is not only a masterpiece of artistry but also a representation of deep spiritual significance. Place it in your home or office to bring a touch of divinity to your space.
