Natarajasana, Lord of the Dance, posture
nata = actor, dancer, mime raja = king
A graceful standing balancing pose, depicting an image of Lord Shiva dancing out the rhythm of the cosmos. Nataraja was a
widely used bronze temple statue during the South Indian Chola dynasty.
Nataraja is standing on one foot, while reaching a hand to grasp
the other foot, symbolizing breaking the cycle of death and rebirth.
