Description
As evil prevails and good takes a blow, the Lord of destruction, in Hindu mythology is believed to unleash his wrath to destroy the universe and recreate another. These dances are called ‘ Rudhra thaandavam’ and ‘Anandha thaandavam’; angry dance and happy dance. In this pose He is depicted in all the vigor of His dance. With blazing fire around him, he balances on a demon showing the destruction of evil ego as the matted tresses fly about in crashing into celestial beings. As the upper right and left hands hold the hour-glass shaped drum to resonate creation and fire to destroy , he brings balance to the universe. The lower right and left hands show protecting and humility illustrating that He will always be a savoir to the humble souls . Nandi, the bull is his vehicle and confidant is believed to be a envoy between the Lord and His disciples that enjoys the dances that his mater performs while playing his drum.
In this art piece, the cosmic energy in all its grandeur is illustrated with Nataraja at the heart of it as his companion Nandi on-looks the creation of the new universe. The explosion of energy as celestial bodies churn about, collide and form the new world is shown on a background of darkness slowly brightening up into a spectacular beauty.
