Summary

Description

Le Shivaganga : bassin sacré entouré d'une colonnade ; au fond, le gopuram nord (Shivaganga Tank)


Le temple de Shiva Nataraja dans sa forme actuelle date principalement des 12e et 13e siècles, avec des ajouts ultérieurs dans le style dravidien. C'est l'un des lieux saints du Shivaïsme. Il est dédié au Shiva Nataraja (Shiva dansant). Il est en plein coeur de la cité de Chidambaram.

Les danses de Shiva sont au nombre de sept (avec 108 poses combinées). Celle dansée par Shiva à Chidambaram est la plus connue, c'est "l'ânada-tândavam". Elle est exécutée sur le terrain d'incinération, celui-ci symbolise le coeur des hommes, le feu détruisant notre ego, c'est à dire les illusions. La danse permet d'atteindre la libération.

Le temple comprend 4 enceintes et 9 entrées (autant que le corps humain). Certaines entrées sont surmontées de Gopuram(s) de 7 étages.

A l'intérieur du temple, se trouvent la Cella contenant la statue de Shiva Nataraja, plusieurs sanctuaires (Shivakamasundari, Subramanya/Murugan...) , un vaste bassin sacré, entouré d'une colonnade et des salles pour accueillir les fidèles dont une salle aux mille piliers (Raja Sabha).
