Circle of Fire (Prabhamandala) – The ring of flames around Nataraja represents the cosmic cycle of creation and destruction, as well as the endless universe. 2. Dancing Pose (Tandava) – His dance reflects the rhythm of existence: creation, preservation, destruction, illusion, and liberation. 3. Upper Right Hand (Drum – Damaru) – The drum produces the primordial sound (Om) from which creation begins. 4. Upper Left Hand (Fire – Agni) – Symbol of destruction, purifying the old to make way for the new. 5. Lower Right Hand (Abhaya Mudra) – Gesture of protection, reassurance, and compassion: “Do not fear.” 6. Lower Left Hand (Gajahasta / across the chest) – Points to his raised foot, symbolizing salvation and liberation (moksha). 7. Raised Left Foot – Signifies grace and spiritual upliftment, offering liberation from worldly illusion. 8. Right Foot on Apasmara (Demon) – Crushing the dwarf demon of ignorance and ego, symbolizing victory of wisdom over ignorance. 9. Serpent Ornaments – Represent Shiva’s mastery over deadly forces and primal energy (kundalini). #LordNataraja #CosmicDance #ShivaEnergy #DivineVibes #spiritualawakening
