The chola nataraja is often considered to be the quintessential statement of indian sculpture, incomparable in its merging of symbol and form. to fulfill his complementing roles, shiva holds various attributes. Here are the symbolism and meaning hidden in the nataraja idol upper right hand:â in his upper right hand shiva holds the damaru, a small drum shaped like an hourglass. It symbolizes the sound that originates creation and perpetuates the universe. upper left hand the upper left hand contains agni or fire, which signifies final destruction, the dissolution of form, out of which a new world will arise. below right hand the second right hand shows the abhaya mudra (meaning fearlessness in sanskrit), giving freedom from fear and bestowing protection from both evil and ignorance. the below left hand the second left hand points towards the raised foot which signifies upliftment and salvation.

His dance is so vigorous that his hair, usually in matted locks piled on his head, becomes loose and flies about him. ganga on hair seated within his hair is the diminutive figure of mother ganga, the river goddess, with her hands folded. When the river descended from heaven to earth, shiva broke its fall with his hair, thereby keeping the earth from being crushed by its force. face of shiva  as he dances the world in and out of existence, shiva maintains a stoic face, representing his neutrality of being in complete balance.
