Meaning of the statue of Shiva Nataraja:
The statue of Shiva Nataraja is frozen at the moment of her dance within the cosmic circle of fire which is the simultaneous and continuous creation and destruction of the universe. In his upper right hand, he holds the damaru, the drum whose beats synchronize the act of creation and the passage of time. Shiva's upper left hand holding the agni, the flame of destruction. His lower right hand, with the palm of his hand raised and turned to the observer, is raised in the gesture of the abhaya mudra, which says to the petitioner: "Do not be afraid, for those who follow the path of justice will have my blessing. The hand extends diagonally on the chest with the palm turned down toward the raised left foot, which means spiritual grace and fulfillment through meditation and dominion over basic appetites. Shiva's right foot is on the nested dwarf, the Apasmara demon, the embodiment of ignorance. The hair of Shiva, the long hair of the Yogi, flows through space within the halo of fire which constitutes the universe.
