Nataraja is the Hindu deity Shiva in the role of the divine cosmic dancer. The word Nataraja originates from Sanskrit, where Nata means dancer and raja represents ruler or lord. Nataraja therefore means Lord of the Dance.
Nataraja - Dancing Shiva symbolizes the destruction and recreation of the universe and the constant cycle of life and death. The statue typically depicts Shiva standing on one foot, while the other foot touches the ring of fire.
His four hands are in various mudras, representing different aspects of his dance. Nataraja often wears ornaments and jewels, which symbolize wealth and abundance.
