The multi armed Nataraja sculpture in Badami cave temples is associated with which deity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Shiva

Nataraja is the celebrated dancing form of Shiva in Hindu religious art. The image usually represents Shiva’s cosmic dance and may show several arms, dynamic movement, and symbolic objects. Recognizing the name and form is more useful than judging the sculpture only by its appearance. The Badami cave temples contain important examples of early Indian and Chalukyan rock-cut art.

Option A is correct because Nataraja is specifically a form of Shiva. Vishnu, Brahma, and Indra have their own iconographic forms, but they are not identified by the title Nataraja. Thus the deity can be determined directly from the artistic name in the question, and the multi-armed figure should be understood as Shiva in his dancing form.
