Double-Ring Dancing Shiva Nataraj
Shiva is sometimes referred to as Shiva Nataraj (Lord of the dance) and is often portrayed as a dancing figure.He dances on a dwarf, who represents ignorance. By treading the dwarf underfoot, he is attempting to overcome ignorance in the world.The circle of flames in which he dances represents the cycle of time with no beginning and no end.The dancing figure of Shiva represents the eternal energy which flows through the world. This continuous dance causes the pattern of day and night, the changing of the seasons, and the cycle of birth and death. He holds in one of his hands a drum on which he beats out the rhythm of the universe. The energy of Shiva's dancing will eventually bring the destruction of the universe, and through the energy of the dance the universe will be re-created. He dances the world into creation, and his dance represents a continuous process of preservation and destruction. The symbols associated with Shiva point to the fact that he has power over evil: Hindu Universal Godhead, dancing the universe into creation and destruction; creating harmony in meditation. The ring of fire depicts the cosmos coming into being. One of the supreme Hindu Trinity with Brahma and Vishnu. Bronze finish antiqued brass statue.
