Like many great civilisations, the origins of the Chola, a Tamil Hindu dynasty in southern India, are shrouded in the temporal mists of uncertainty and obscurity.https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1992/chola-art--architecture/ #Chola #CholaDynasty #India #History

#Shiva as #Natraja (Lord of Dance).
This 11th cent. #Chola statue is now at Minneapolis Institute of Art, USA.
The #Iconography is explained as:
The Sound of Drum (Damru) which He holds in His right Hand Manifests 'Creation'.
The Flame in His left Hand Signifies 'Destruction'.
The Open Palms of the Lower Hands Stand for 'Protection'.
He is (often) Shown Standing on a Demon signifying Elimination of Ignorance.
The Electrifying Dance makes His Hair Sway which can be seen Radiating from His Head.
