Nataraja, Lord Shiva's dancing avtaar has an interesting and meaningful tale to it. It is said that there once lived a dwarf called Apasmara. Apasmara represents arrogance and ignorance and he could not be killed by anyone because killing him would hinder the natural process of attaining knowledge and wisdom which is by being unwise, ignorant and arrogant first. He became so fearless of his immortal stature that he challenged Lord Shiva to which the lord responded by performing Taandav over him crushing him to pieces. This stands symbolic to the fact that art such as music and dance balances the arrogance in learning. This Brass sculpture is a representation of the lord in his Lord of Dance avtaar.

The face of the lord in this sculpture radiates peace and fulfillment. The features are so well defined; these accentuate a feel of reality. The Lord is seen engrossed in the Jnana mudra. Jnana Mudra or Gyan Mudra is one of the most common yogic mudra used in meditation. In Sanskrit, the word 'Jnana' means knowledge or wisdom and 'mudra' means sign or gesture. It literally means the psychic gesture of knowledge or wisdom. In Jnana mudra, the thumb represents the Supreme Reality called Brahman. The forefinger represents the individual soul or the Jiva or our inner reality. The two fingers touching each other signify the oneness of Brahman and Jiva. In other words the Individual self is not different from the Supreme reality Brahman. The three other fingers represent the three Gunas of Nature. The middle finger represents Sattva Guna (Light, Purity, Clarity of mind, understanding, etc.). The ring finger represents Rajas (action, passion, movement, etc.). The little finger represents Tamas (inertia, dullness, inaction, confusion, etc.). These three Gunas have to be transcended to reach the ultimate reality. That is the philosophical symbolism behind this gesture.
