Nataraja✨️ The Ananda Thandava pose has a history and a source. It evolved from the 24th Karana mentioned in the Natyashastra as Bhujangatrasitam. The static Nataraja pose as we know it today was part of a movement, and not a standalone stance. The key points in this posture is the mandala sthana and the height of the lifted leg.
