12" Shiva's Gangavatarana (Nataraja) Brass Sculpture | Handmade Idols | Made in India

12" Shiva's Gangavatarana (Nataraja) Brass Sculpture | Handmade Idols | Made in India is a brass statue in the classical Nataraja tradition, rendered with the Gangavatarana motif that shows the descent of the sacred Ganga from Shiva’s matted hair as part of this iconic sculpture.

Crafted by skilled artisans, the piece is cast in solid brass and finished with a warm antique patina. Every curl, ornament, and facial feature is carefully hand chiseled and burnished, reflecting traditional methods and patient attention to detail.

Within Indian art, the Nataraja figure embodies the cosmic dance that sustains and dissolves the universe, while the Gangavatarana variant adds a narrative of sacred water and renewal. This sculpture respects that lineage through precise proportions, a balanced stance, and a graceful halo.

Ideal for a home temple, meditation space, or a display shelf, it also makes a thoughtful gift for collectors and enthusiasts of handmade Indian sculpture. Maintain with a soft cloth and occasional dusting to preserve its warm patina.
