The
tradition of stone-carving in Mahabalipuram traces its origins in the Pallava
period. It is under the patronage of these art-loving rulers that
intergenerational practice of this art flourished. Its results can be seen to
this day in the ruins that dot its landscape and within the studios run by
families devoted to their craft. It is from one such studio that this dancing
Ardhanarishvara has been curated.
Fashioned
from karuppu kal (black granite), the process involved is time-intensive and
speaks volumes about the skill and temperament of the sculptors. Multiple
rounds of stenciling and chiselling call for the attention of up to 50
craftsmen on a single work of art such as this one. Note the graciousness of
the curves at each juncture of the deity’s roopa, the dynamism of the
silhouette - these are the hallmarks of the region’s devotional handiwork.

The trishool
in His hand contrasts sharply with the sweet-sounding conch in Hers; the
nakedness of His raised leg, with the pleats of Her dhoti; the musculature of
His torso, with the sharp curve of Her waist; the fierce-hooded snake, with the
shringar of Her kundalas. A single lotus-engraved halo behind the head matches
the double-tiered lotus pedestal on which the tandava is taking place.
