Lord Nataraja 2/30 I took almost a week to complete this. Some trivia from wiki: #LordNataraja The sculpture is symbolic of Shiva as the lord of dance and dramatic arts. It typically shows Shiva dancing in one of the Natya Shastra poses, holding Agni (fire) in his left back hand, the front hand in gajahasta or dandahasta mudra, the front right hand in abhaya mudra while pointing to a Sutra text, and the back hand holding a damaru. He is surrounded by a ring of flames, standing on a lotus pedestal, lifting his left leg and trampling a demon shown as a dwarf - Apasmara who symbolizes ignorance. The dynamism of the energetic dance is depicted with the whirling hair which spread out in thin strands as a fan behind his head. #greysketchbook - @scholarestore #Fineliners and #gellyrolls - @uniball_india @sakuracolorproducts @gellyrollph #sneahsketchbook #sneahsclicks #natarajamandala #greybookmandala #therapeuticart #omnamahshivaya #instalove #indianart #indianfolkart #folkartindiachallenge #instalove #likemypost (at Chidambaram) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEoOdtxHo4k/?igshid=kzq85p91eqv4
