It's amazing how many people think of the Nataraja as a female being. I guess it's because hindu art often represents the human body in a manner that seems effeminate to western eyes.
Anyway "raja" is the sanskrit title for "lord", and Nataraja is just an avatar of Shiva, who is known to be a male deity.
The issue isn't helped by games like Final Fantasy (multiple Versions)where Shiva has always been a female summon. That made me laugh when I first saw "him" step out of a block of ice as a bikini-clad ice queen.  |
