Shiva Nataraja, Caracas, Venezuela
In this terracotta statute the Hindu God Shiva is depicted as Narataraja or the cosmic dancer. Shiva is posed as to start dancing the Tandavam dance which aims to destroy the exhausted universe and allows for its renewal by the god Brahma. Shiva is standing on the dwarf of ignorance. Shiva Nataraja represents the concept of change or the destruction of a previous order which inevitably precedes any creation.
