Superfine Ornamented Nataraja (Shiva) Pink Stone Statue Dancing On Apasmara
Shiva is shown as having four arms and a serpent wrapped around his neck in this artwork. He is beating out the beat of his dance with a little drum called a damaru that he is holding in his upper right hand. He is holding a small flame of fire in his upper left hand to represent the powers of both creation and destruction. In a gesture of reassurance, he raises the palm of his lower right hand.
In the sculpture, Nataraja is shown dancing on the dwarf demon Apasmara, who represents ignorance and epilepsy. This demon represents nonsensical speech and spiritual ignorance. The Vedic writings claim that ignorance is the biggest deterrent and impediment to achieving self-realisation.
Apasmara must be subdued in order to bring about spiritual knowledge or transcendental wisdom and maintain knowledge in the world. In order to do this, Lord Shiva took the form of Nataraja, and, using rhythmic movements, he stepped on the demon Apasmara and crushed him beneath his right foot. Signifying that whoever seeks refuge in Nataraja will be liberated from ignorance and will have access to opportunities for spiritual development.
This exquisite work of art perfectly portrays Lord Shiva’s pure essence in Nataraja, the lord of dance who represents creation, preservation, and destruction. From the intricate carving of Shiva’s ornaments to the flowing locks of his hair, every element of the sculpture has been painstakingly sculpted with extraordinary beauty and perfection.
The sculpture has a touch of beauty and originality thanks to the pink stone that was chosen for it. The pink stone is well known for its relaxing and calming properties, creating a harmonious ambiance wherever it is placed. Its presence emits a spiritual vibe that encourages devotion and contemplation.
