‘Dancing Shiva’ by Uttam Chitrakar

In Uttam Chitrakar's mesmerizing Kalighat painting, Lord Shiva is depicted as the deity of destruction and transformation, also revered as the divine protector of all beings. This portrayal captures him in a dynamic dance known as the "Ananda Tandava" or the Dance of Bliss, symbolizing the cosmic cycles of creation and destruction.

In this captivating representation, Shiva is shown with four arms. His upper right hand holds the "damaru" (drum), representing the sound of creation, while the upper left hand holds Agni (fire), symbolizing destruction. The lower right hand is in the "abhaya mudra," signifying protection, and the lower left hand points to his raised foot, symbolizing salvation. The dancing posture signifies the cosmic rhythm and the interconnectedness of all things.
