Dancing in India
Dance is of paramount importance in India, it is a noble art, the creative art par excellence, and traces of it can be found in the Sanskrit treaties of more than 2000 years ago. Today there are six forms of traditional dance : bharata natyam, kathak, kathakali, manipuri, kuchipudi, odissi. But dance is also very present in the villages during religious, folk or civil festivals and of course in movies !
Classical dance is intimately linked to the sacred : it is a way of transmitting the Vedas, the religious teachings to the greatest number. All the dancers's gestures are therefore extremely codified and have a specific message. Learning is long and difficult.
Posture Standing - slightly bent - weight resting on one leg. The left leg, folded, is held by the left arm at the ankle.
The posture is graceful, suggesting both balance and movement.
Hairstyle Typical, hair raised in a bun (keshabanda) and garnished with some discreet jewelry.
Parure The dancer is simply dressed in pants richly decorated with multiple strips of fabric as well as a wide belt whose sides twirl on each side. Two brassieres also highlight the dance movement. The whole is finely chiseled with great details.
Jewelry Richly endowed, this dancer wears many necklaces, bracelets (arms and ankles), earrings and finely chiseled headdress.

« Fast shipping and very well packaged. Thank you.
I am very satisfied with this murti with neat details and all imbued with spirituality. » (Gérard M)
« Very happy with the gift I gave myself with the statuette of Shiva Nataraj representing the cosmic wheel with his multiple arms.
Bertrand Bellaize, through his relationship with Indian artisans, puts us in direct contact with tribal art, far from the international trade organized for mass production.
I can savor every day the purity of the delicate gestures of the Shiva and thus open myself to the surge of spirituality that this symbolism offers me. » (Pierre J)
