Shiva / Siva Nataraja is the God of Destruction in Hinduism. He is also believed to be the God of the Creative Force.
The word Nataraja means "Lord of the Dance," and this cosmic dance represents the fields of energy moving throughout time. As long as Shiva keeps dancing, our universe will continue. But when Shiva finally tires and falls asleep, the universe will run out of energy and the cosmos will pass out of existence.
You can also purchase an optional Thai Silver Necklace Chain with this pendant if you would like. Just choose either the Ball Chain or the Link Chain in the drop down menu above (right above the Add To Basket button, where it says "Pick An Optional Chain"). If you don't want a chain, then just leave it as saying Select One.
The Ball Chain Necklace (left) is 17 Inches Long and the Link Chain Necklace (Right) Is 18 Inches Long. Each ball or link is approximately 2 milliliters in diameter.
We think you are going to like these chains as they are made out of genuine Thai silver and really make our pendants / amulets stand out. They add a touch of class to our pieces.
