It means "King of Dance". It is also the name and statue of the Hindu god Shiva. Shiva's activities are said to be strong and intense, and are connected to the rhythm of the universe, and Nataraja is a symbolic expression of this. Shiva's dance has 108 poses, which are classified into nine types, and each symbolizes Shiva's functions, such as the creation, maintenance, destruction, illusion, and liberation of the universe. Among the remains, the sculptures in the Ellora Caves and the Elephanta Caves are known as masterpieces, and there are also many excellent bronze sculptures in South India.

「舞踊の王」という意味。インド神話のシバ神の異名,またその像。シバの活動は強く激しく宇宙の律動とつながって作用するといわれ,ナタラージャはそれを象徴的に表現したもの。シバの踊りには 108のポーズがあり,それらは9つの型に分類されるが,いずれも宇宙の創造,維持,破壊,幻惑,解放などのシバの機能を象徴するものである。遺品としてはエローラ窟院,エレファンタ窟院に彫刻されたものが傑作として知られ,また南インドの青銅彫刻にも優品が多い。
