Question

What do the four hands of Shiva Natraj symbolise

Answer 1

Answer:

The gestures of the dance represent Shiva's five activities, creation (symbolized by the drum), protection (by the "fear not" hand gesture), destruction (by the fire), embodiment (by the foot planted on the ground), and release (by the foot held aloft). ... Bhashya Nataraja, the King of Dance, has four arms.
