Description
This unique image form, no representation of a human or divine form ever or anywhere reflects this level of energy, agility or action, or even human anatomy. The figure's curves, twists, fluidity, and contours, universally known as Nataraja Shiva, represent Lord Shiva as engaged in dance classified in iconographic tradition as Ananda-Tandava or just Tandava exclusively shiva dance-form. No art tradition, medium or human imagination, has ever conceived and created a form, anywhere in the world, that precedes, succeeds or is similar to the Nataraja form. Not merely a piece with such rare skill as this one, even a routine Nataraja sculpture, a metal cast, wood-carving or any, reveals the force, agility, or act hardly ever seen in visual art forms. This attributes to Nataraja images a distinction that no other image form can claim.
