湿婆以舞王纳塔拉贾形象出现的雕像，最著名的是南印度朱罗王朝时期（约10至12世纪）铸造的青铜像，造型优美，被视为印度艺术的杰作。南印度泰米尔纳德邦的奇丹巴拉姆神庙，供奉的就是舞王湿婆。

The most famous images of Shiva as Nataraja, the Lord of Dance, are the bronze statues cast in South India under the Chola dynasty, roughly the tenth to twelfth centuries, and they are regarded as masterpieces of Indian art. The temple of Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu, South India, is dedicated to Shiva as the Lord of Dance.

2004年，印度政府向位于瑞士日内瓦的欧洲核子研究中心赠送了一尊约两米高的舞王湿婆像，立在研究中心的院子里。有物理学家把舞王的宇宙之舞，比作微观世界里粒子不停产生又消失的运动。

In 2004, the Indian government gave a statue of Shiva Nataraja about two metres tall to CERN, the European particle physics laboratory near Geneva, where it stands in the grounds. Some physicists have compared the cosmic dance of Nataraja to the way tiny particles constantly appear and disappear.
