An exemplary work of traditional Indian art perfected here by R. Mani. Inspired by women figures of world famous Khajuraho Temple, R. Mani skilfully created his own masterpiece - dancing lady. With nothing but jewels and a scarf to cover her body, the beautiful female is standing practically nude. Her body exposed, she is presented in a seductive pose, while performing a dance.

Her voluptuous, feminine forms have been ideally carved by the artist, to further highlight the divine beauty of the female body. She is ideal. This piece mesmerises our eyes. It seems as if she is about to come alive and start her performance in front of the audience.

Female sculptures are symbolic to physical and divine beauty of women, feminine forms and female sensuality.
