Talk:Nataraja

message: Straightened out the spelling of Shiva as a deity, and added a bit of info of Nataraja's flowing locks.
The image and the info on the locks was was from the dreadlocks page.
Hope people can expand on my beloved Hara's page!:) Om Namah Shivayee!:) --Snowgrouse 19:57, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

message: In some Images of nataraja we see mahakala at the top who seems to devour the flames, which are souls. This represents moksha or nirvana i think...
At the bottow we see creatures (makara's?) who seem to spit those souls. (N33 12:29, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I just removed this para, as it does not actually mention the importance of Nataraja in Bharatanatyam. If someone (qualified) can actually specify the importance and cite sources, please do so. I would love to learn that! Besides, what was contained in that para was mere metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, not encyclopedic and not verifiable (if there is such a thing as verifiability in mumbo-jumbo). I had added a fact tag there long back, and predictably none came. I have retained the info about the anthropomorphic depiction. Sudeepneelakantan (talk) 21:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Wikipedia articles are not considered WP:RS for wikipedia. Do you have an external WP:RS for your allegation that "Nataraja is not a Sanskrit word, rather it is a Tamil word". FWIW, the Stromer source cited in the main article actually affirms it being Sanskrit. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 20:07, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
