The face with a subtle smile below almond shaped eyes, surmounted by a high, tapering headdress, backed by a floral halo.

This image of Shiva depicts him as Nataraja, the Lord of the Dance. Shiva balances on the dwarf Apasmarapurusha, the demon of ignorance and indolence. His primary right hand is raised in the reassuring abhaya mudra, while his primary left hand should be in gajahasta, indicating the defeat of ignorance that hinders the realization of the universal truth. In his secondary right hand, he holds the damaru symbolizing the sound of creation - the Big Bang - whose cosmic vibrations perpetuate the universe. His other hand holds agni, the fire which signifies the final destruction out of which a new world will arise.
