Natararaja is the form of Lord Shiva as the Lord who dances at the time of universal destruction. The dance of Shiva in Chidambaram forms the motif for all the depictions of Shiva as Nataraja. The form is present in most Shiva temples in South India, and is the prime deity in the famous Thillai Nataraja Temple at Chidambaram. The sculpture is usually made in bronze, with Shiva dancing in an aureole of flames, lifting his left leg (or in rare cases, the right leg) and balancing over a demon or dwarf (Apasmara) who symbolizes ignorance. It is a well known sculptural symbol in India and popularly used as a symbol of Indian culture.

In a break from tradition, Puri Shankaracharya Swami Nicshalananda Saraswati did not turn up to offer prayers to the deities on their chariots during the rath yatra today. Back channel negotiations to persuade the seer failed as he stuck to his decision of not taking part in the yatra, the first such instance, sources said. The seer was miffed at the Jagannath temple administration's request to him to climb the chariots alone. The seer apparently wanted his followers to accompany him while offering prayers on the chariots.
