Shiva Nataraja, anonymous, c. 1100 - c. 1200

Shiva, in his manifestation as Nataraja (King of Dancers), represented in the anandatandava pose and encircled by a halo of fire, is both the creator and destroyer of the world. Beneath his foot is a dwarf, symbolizing ignorance. Richly decorated bronze figures of Hindu gods were carried in procession on feast days. Carrying poles were inserted through the rings on the base.

A very beautiful ratha or Ther (processional chariot of a temple) carved in every detail would be surprising in itself, but the case is more astonishing, the sculptors are blind! Inheriting the sacred craft of their father, the renowned sculptor Mallapa Baddigera, Mahesh and Suresh, these blind shilpis sculpt, having touch as their only means of cognition as they create these intricate details as dictated by shilpa sastra.

MWW Artwork of the Day (2/18/23) Classical India (Pala Empire, 750–1174 CE) Vishnu with His Consorts, Lakshmi and Sarasvati (c. 11th–12th c.) Black stone relief sculpture, 218.4 x 136.3 x 30.2 cm. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Cora Timken Burnett Bequest)

In this extremely large sculpture, the Hindu god Vishnu is attended by his two consorts: to his left, Sarasvati, the goddess of poetry and music; to his right, Lakshmi, the goddess of fortune. The architectural ensemble in which they stand is inhabited by a series of gods, demigods, ascetics, and worshipers. Two river goddesses stand at the base of the columns. Beyond them, at the outer edges in niches, are figures representing the weapons of Vishnu in human form: Gadadevi (his mace) and Chakrapurusha (his war discus). Ganesha occupies the niche at the top left corner; Karttikeya occupies the corresponding spot on the right. The two inner niches house Shiva (left) and Brahma (right).
