28-Foot Tall ‘Nataraja’ Statue Takes Center Stage At G20 Summit Venue

The upcoming G20 Summit in New Delhi is set to witness the awe-inspiring presence of a colossal 28-foot tall ‘Nataraja’ statue, believed to be the tallest of its kind in the world. The installation of this magnificent statue is expected to draw massive crowds, capturing the essence of Lord Shiva’s cosmic power of creation and destruction. Crafted using the ancient lost-wax technique of metal casting that dates back to the illustrious era of the Chola dynasty, the ‘Nataraja’ statue represents a tribute to the famed Chola bronzes. This meticulous method involves casting molten metal, such as bronze, gold, or silver, into a mold created from wax or resin-like materials. The result is a stunningly detailed sculpture that captures the essence of Lord Shiva’s dance of creation and the eternal cycle of life.
