  26. The sense of calm around this Chola bronze which I saw a few weeks ago is perhaps understandable, for the artisans were supreme craftsman; but harder to fathom is the inwardness of her gaze, the sense of being there and yet being beyond the here-and-now. Traditional treatises stipulate that Hindu deities have perfectly straight shoulders unlike her. She is, all too human.

  29. #Shiva as #Natraja (Lord of Dance).
    This 11th cent. #Chola statue is now at Minneapolis Institute of Art, USA.
    The #Iconography is explained as:
    The Sound of Drum (Damru) which He holds in His right Hand Manifests 'Creation'.
    The Flame in His left Hand Signifies 'Destruction'.
    The Open Palms of the Lower Hands Stand for 'Protection'.
    He is (often) Shown Standing on a Demon signifying Elimination of Ignorance.
    The Electrifying Dance makes His Hair Sway which can be seen Radiating from His Head.
