Nataraja
Nataraja (The King of Dance) is the dancing posture of Hindu god Shiva, who performs his divine dance as a part of divine duties of creation and destruction. The sculpture is usually made in bronze with the shiva deity lifting his left leg (and in rare cases, the right leg) and his right leg over a demon Apasmara who symbolizes ignorance.
