Shiva in Tandava Wooden Statue |
Lord Shiva forms the part
of the cosmic trinity and holds the position of being the destroyer of the
impurities and evils prevailing in the universe. Lord Shiva is the darkness,
which is always there. Light is a limited happening as it will eventually lose
its ability, but darkness is eternal, it is everywhere, just like Lord Shiva.
This ShivaTandava wooden sculpture depicts the Supreme Being as the cosmic
dancer, in the great Nataraja form. Lord dances on this floral plinth amidst
the lush green forest, as represented by the long backdrop, carved in thick
green vines coiled beautifully and bunches of fruits, along with two tiny peacocks
perched on the top.
The unique aspect of this
wooden sculpture is that Lord Shiva
is carved in blue, symbolic of his extreme power, when he drank the deadly
poison Halahala, which made his neck turn blue, hence is also known by the name
Neelkantha. This Tandava posture of Shiva is a major depiction in many Hindu
temples of Shaivism. The sculptor has realistically carved the bent stance of
his body with the hands and legs postured in their iconic form and the matted
hair swinging out from either side.
The sculptor while carving out this Shiva wooden sculpture has played a beautiful contrast with the color palette. Having the garbs in a blended shade of red, orange, and yellow that matches with the background of trees and branches. Shiva’s jewels have an add-on hue of green to comply with the beauty of the flora of the jungle. Lord’s long crown depicts the beauteous long carvings of South Indian temples, adorned here with a half-moon towards the side. This tandava sculpture of Shiva is good ornamentation for Hindu temples or to accentuate the beauty of hotel receptions.
