Sripuranthan Natarajan Idol
The Sripuranthan Natarajan Idol, is a 900-year-old statue of Natarajan - the dancing Shiva, which was stolen from the ancient Brihadeeswarar temple of Sripuranthan, and smuggled to the United States and then sold to the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra with a false provenance, for US$ 5.1 million. The statue was consequently returned by Australia to the Indian government on ethical grounds, once questions were raised on the due diligence not being followed during the acquisition.
==Nataraja==
(詳細はTamil:"நடராசர்" or ''Kooththan''"கூத்தன்:), ''The Lord (or King) of Dance''), is a depiction of the Hindu God Shiva as the cosmic dancer who performs his divine dance to destroy a weary universe and make preparations for the god Brahma to start the process of creation. The dance of Shiva in Tillai, the traditional name for Chidambaram, forms the motif for all the depictions of Shiva as Nataraja. He is also known as "Sabesan" which splits as "Sabayil aadum eesan" in Tamil which means "The Lord who dances on the dais". 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 (Muyalaka) who symbolizes ignorance. It is a well known sculptural symbol in India and popularly used as a symbol of Indian culture.
