Natraj

📝 Description

This artwork beautifully portrays Lord Shiva as Natraj, the cosmic dancer, captured in a graceful pose within the circle of flames. The golden figure stands out against a rich red background filled with delicate spiral motifs, symbolizing energy, movement, and creation.
Shiva’s dynamic yet balanced posture represents the eternal rhythm of the universe — the cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction. Beneath his feet lies the demon Apasmara, symbolizing ignorance, which Shiva crushes with each step of divine dance.
The entire composition radiates vitality, spiritual energy, and harmony.
