Antecedent to the G20 Summit, which started on September 9, the tallest Nataraja Statue in the world was installed at the Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi।
"Ashtadhatu," which is a combination of eight metals—copper, zinc, lead, tin, silver, gold, mercury, and iron—makes up the 27 foot Nataraja statue
The statue being made took more than 100 artists, who worked on a total of 3.25 lakh man hours over a period of seven months
The statue was created utilizing the ancient Chola Period technique for sculpting, called lost wax casting. Since it is used to create intricate single-piece sculptures, the Nataraja statue doesn't have any welded components.
The hollow bronze figure weighs between 18 and 20 tonnes, which is a tremendous amount.
The statue's main sculpture was created by Radhakrishna Sthapati, a skilled engineer in temple building. A group of 100 artists worked together to make it.
The sculpture was created by a family of sthapati, or temple architects, who have been creating sculptures using conventional methods for the last 34 generations.
The famous monument traveled from Thanjavur to Delhi in less than four days with the assistance of numerous states' administrative employees along the way and enthusiastic audiences.
