Lord Shiva is revered as one of the Supreme beings who creates, protects, and transforms the universe. He as a great acetic concentrates on meditation as a means to find perfect happiness. This brass statue depicts Lord Shiva performing his cosmic Tandava called Anandatandava, on a stylized lotus pedestal; although the posture of his legs is unusually carved while in Tandava, the hand mudra and that expression of eternal bliss symbolize the cosmic rhythm of birth and death. The vibes arousing from this dance create an interplay of the dynamic and static flow of divine energy.
