Cosmic dance
NATARAJA
Shiva as Nataraja - Lord of the Dance. Chola bronze. 12th century A.D.
'He dances, a whirl
of motion,
the great lord
bearing fire, crowned
with the crescent and the Ganga,
as his golden ankles chime
and his serpents dance, too.'
- Saint Sundarar
The Chola bronzes are quite the most fantastic bronzes I can remember seeing!
