Shiva one of the supreme Hindu trinity with Brahma & Vishnu. Dancing the universe in to creation & destruction,the circle of fire depicts the cosmos coming into begin. Beautifully handcrafted in India.

Shiva Nataraja: Sanskrit: नटराज, Naṭarāja

The great Hindu god Shiva has many guises and many representations in art, but perhaps the most familiar is as a dancing figure within a circle of fire, that is as Shiva Nataraja, Lord of the Dance.

Shiva Nataraja, as many other important Hindu gods, is a complex character with a myriad of traits, sometimes seemingly in conflict with each other.

In a marvelously unified and dynamic composition expressing the rhythm and harmony of life, Nataraj is shown with four hands represent the cardinal directions.

He is dancing, with his left foot elegantly raised and the right foot on a prostrate figure—'Apasmara Purusha', the personification of illusion and ignorance over whom Shiva triumphs.

The upper left-hand holds a flame, the lower left-hand points down to the dwarf, who is shown holding a cobra.

The upper right-hand holds an hourglass drum or 'dumroo' that stands for the male-female vital principle, the lower shows the gesture of assertion: "Be without fear."

Snakes that stand for egotism, are seen uncoiling from his arms, legs, and hair, which is braided and bejeweled.

His matted locks are whirling as he dances within an arch of flames representing the endless cycle of birth and death.

On his head is a skull, which symbolizes his conquest over death.

Goddess Ganga, the epitome of the holy river Ganges, also sits on his hairdo.

His third eye is symbolic of his omniscience, insight, and enlightenment.

He rests on a lotus pedestal, the symbol of the creative forces of the universe.

This cosmic dance of Shiva is called 'Anandatandava,' meaning the Dance of Bliss, and symbolizes the cosmic cycles of creation and destruction, as well as the daily rhythm of birth and death.

The dance is a pictorial allegory of the five principle manifestations of eternal energy—creation, destruction, preservation, salvation, and illusion.

The dance of Shiva may also represent his five activities: 'Shrishti' (creation, evolution); 'Sthiti' (preservation, support); 'Samhara' (destruction, evolution); 'Tirobhava' (illusion); and 'Anugraha' (release, emancipation, grace).

"The source of all movement,
Shiva's dance,
Gives rhythm to the universe.
He dances in evil places,
In sacred,
He creates and preserves,
Destroys and releases.
We are part of this dance
This eternal rhythm,
And woe to us if, blinded
By illusions,
We detach ourselves
From the dancing cosmos,
This universal harmony…"

What are Ubique Botanical Perfumes?

Welcome to Pure Perfume

Ubique is Latin for "everywhere", and refers to Omnipresence, the property of being present everywhere.

u-bi-que [oo-bee-kwe; English] adverb, Latin, "Everywhere".

Ubique Botanical Perfumes contain concentrated botanicals. Plant, flower, wood oils, absolutes, tinctures, and concretes are used and may cause an allergic reaction if you have an allergy to these substances. It is always best to begin your fragrant Ubique journey with a sample before purchasing a larger size, but don't wait too long...these are limited creations and they sell out quickly!

• We do not accept returns on perfumes, personal care items, or sale items. Please purchase and try sample sizes before purchasing larger sizes. Thank you!

Botanical Perfume FAQ's

• Keep products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Avoid using near the eyes or other sensitive areas
• Do not take internally
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Our products are 100% free of synthetic ingredients.
• All base products used are USDA Certified Organic and also are Non-GMO

As this is pure perfume, only a drop or two is needed. The organic botanical alcohol is NOT drying like the alcohol used in mass marketed perfumes. The EDP's (Eau de Parfum) come in convenient spray bottles.

Mine Rough Stones and Crystals

Mine rough stones are those we procure directly from a mine instead of a mass dealer. These stones are fresh from the earth and have not been previously sold. We prefer mine rough stones as the vibrational qualities are HIGH.

ALL STONES AND CRYSTALS ARE MINED.

One should not expect perfection when purchasing from ANY dealer unless the stone has been cut and polished and is listed as "perfect".

If perfection is desired, please only purchase cut and polished "perfect" stones.

Mine rough stones may have dents, dings, etc. We photograph each stone and describe what we see. We do not sell that which is not of high vibrational quality and authentic.

Present for my daughter. She loves it! Very high quality, beautiful piece 👌


This little Dancing Shiva is absolutely delightful! Exactly as described, carefully packaged, and quickly shipped, this is a great shop to communicate with and purchase from.


I wish I could give multiple 5 star reviews. Shiva is exactly as pictured, beautiful quality. Shipping was immediate (i think it was shipped the same day I bought it) and also the seller included the most thoughtful little gifts along with Nataraja.
