English term

lord of the dance

English to Hindi Other Religion Shaivism
Greetings,

I've been trying to discover the name for Shiva in the specific role of lord of the dance.

Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Natarajar_at_chidambaram....

I'm rather surprised, as I've tried googling both नाटराजा and नृत्यराजा with no success whatsoever – perhaps a completely different word is used?

All the best,

Simon
