Nataraja is a form of Lord Shiva as the cosmic dancer, also known as the Lord of Dance, and is central to India's classical dance tradition.

• His cosmic dance (Tandava) symbolizes the creation, preservation, and dissolution of the universe, representing the cycle of time.
• Nataraja is depicted dancing inside a circle of fire (Prabha Mandala), symbolizing the eternal cosmic cycle.
• He has four arms, each holding a symbolic object:
  -Damru (two-headed drum) – Represents the sound of creation.
  -Fire pot – Represents destruction.
  -Abhaya Mudra (gesture of blessing) – Signifies protection and fearlessness.
  -Pointing downward – Represents liberation (moksha).
• Nataraja stands over Apasmara, a dwarf representing ignorance, signifying the triumph of wisdom over darkness.
