Shiva in his form as Nataraja (King of Dancers)—surrounded by a ring of flames and depicted in the *anandatandava* pose—is simultaneously the creator and the destroyer of the world. Beneath his foot lies a dwarf: the symbol of ignorance. Richly decorated bronze statues of Hindu deities were carried in processions on festival days; carrying poles were inserted through rings on the base for this purpose. ,
