17 Inch Brass Nataraja Statue, Shiva Caught Mid Dance

Dance teachers and Shiva bhakts often ask for this form. This 17 inch brass nataraja statue shows Lord Shiva as Nataraja, the lord of dance, in the middle of a step inside a big ring of flames.

Small things to spot on Nataraja

  • A ring of flame points all around him, with a band of open loops just inside it
  • Long locks of hair flying out on both sides of his head
  • A damru held up in one of his upper hands
  • One leg lifted and swung across, the other foot pressing down on Apasmara
  • A sash flowing out to touch the ring on both sides
  • A lotus seat on a stepped base

Dance room, study or Shiva shelf

At 6 kg and well over a foot tall, he needs a wide and steady top: a console in the hall, a corner stand in a dance studio, or the top of a low bookshelf. Keep the flame points clear of the wall. From the back the ring is plain, with rows of holes cut through. The dance of Nataraja is believed to stand for the circle of making and ending in the world.

Chisel marks on the flames

After casting, the karigar goes over each flame point and every hair lock with a chisel, which is why the edges stay crisp when light falls on them.

Can a dancing Shiva be kept at home? Yes. Many families keep Nataraja in the living room or study.

How do I clean between the flame points? A soft paintbrush for the dust, then a dry cotton cloth. Skip wet cloths on the open holes.

Under a warm lamp at night, the ring throws its own pattern of shadows on the wall behind him.

What are your murtis made of?

We offer both brass and stone murtis, handcrafted by skilled artisans. The material, exact size and weight of each murti are listed in the product details on this page.

Will the murti look exactly like the photos?

Every murti is handmade, so small differences are natural. Brass murtis can vary slightly in colour and finish, and stone murtis can show natural veins, shade and texture of the stone. The design and size stay the same as shown.

How do I clean and care for my murti?

Brass: wipe gently with a soft, dry cotton cloth. Avoid water, lemon and chemical polish. Brass slowly develops a warm patina over time; this is natural.

Stone: dust with a soft dry cloth, or a slightly damp cloth if needed, and let it dry fully. Avoid acidic cleaners, soaps and harsh chemicals. Handle with care and place it on a stable, flat surface, as stone can chip if it falls.

Which payment options are available?

You can pay securely online using UPI, debit or credit cards and net banking.
