Nataraj Dancing On Double Designer Base with Cosmic Ring (9 In)
This magnificent 9-inch statue depicts Lord Shiva in his celebrated form as Nataraja, the Lord of the Cosmic Dance (Ananda Tandava). This image beautifully encapsulates the Hindu concept of the eternal cycle of creation, preservation, dissolution, illusion, and grace.
Shiva is captured in a dynamic, perfectly balanced pose, his right foot firmly planted on the diminutive demon Apasmara (symbolizing ignorance, ego, and illusion).His entire form is encircled by the Prabha Mandala (the "Yelly Ring" or fiery arch), which represents the boundless, rhythmic universe that is constantly being consumed and reborn.
Every element holds profound symbolism:
Upper Right Hand (Damaru/Drum): Beats the primordial rhythm of creation and the beginning of the universe.
Upper Left Hand (Agni/Fire): Holds the flame of dissolution and destruction, necessary for rebirth.
Lower Right Hand (Abhaya Mudra): The "fear not" gesture, a promise of protection to devotees.
Lower Left Hand (Pointing to the Foot): Points to his raised foot, signifying the release (moksha) from the cycle of birth and death for the mature soul.
Set upon a detailed "Double Designer Base," this statue is a profound representation of cosmic truth and a breathtaking piece of artistry for any home, meditation space, or collector.
