The idol is crafted from the finest shivaniwood by expert artisans and mounted on a pedestal of pure rosewood. The mastery of the sculptor is seen in the intricate filigree work and the fiercely expressive features of the Lord.

The sculpture depicts a fierce manifestation of Shiva as Tandava Nataraja,the Lord of Dance. Encircled in an aureole of flames symbolising the manifest Universe, Shiva performs the Tandava Nritya, the dance in which the universe is created, maintained, and resolved.

His upper right hand holds a drum (damaru) symbolizing Creation while the left hand contains Agni or fire, which signifies destruction. The second right hand is held in the Abhaya mudra signifying fearlessness and bestows protection from both evil and ignorance, while the second left hand points towards the raised foot which signifies upliftment and salvation.

An ishta devta of bharatanatyam and kuchipudi dancers, the Tandava Shiva statue is worshipped by Indian classical dancers before commencing a dance performance. The lovely whitewood Shiva sculpture makes a wonderful home décor accessory and can be used to accentuate the ambience of a dance school. It even makes a great gift idea for dancers and art lovers.

Care: Keep indoors. Lightly dust the figurine as required. We recommend the use of a mild wood cleaner on a swab of cotton wool.
