Nataraja Idol

Nataraja, Lord Shiva as the cosmic dancer, is one of the most celebrated forms in South Indian art and a powerful symbol of creation and rhythm.

You can order the Nataraja Idol online from Poduvals, or see it in person at our Bengaluru store.

Each piece is cast and finished by hand by traditional artisans, so small variations in detail and tone make every piece unique.

Where to keep it and how to use it

Nataraja idols look striking in living rooms, dance studios and entrance foyers, and can also be kept in the pooja room.

Care

Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after pooja. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. A gentle polish with tamarind paste or a mild metal cleaner brings back the shine; after abhishekam, rinse and dry it fully.
