Velliyambalamum chitrasabaiyum :
Each Nataraja has a unique specialty, and accordingly, during decoration The Kanakasabai Nataraja is adorned with a distinctive beauty of *vettiver* (chrysopogon) as his hair. The Rathnasabai Nataraja is uniquely decorated during the holy anointing (*Thirumanjanam*) with grated sandalwood paste and pomegranate pearls. The Rajathasabai Nataraja is distinguished by the use of the *Gajari chattam* (a traditional decorative canopy) during processions Similarly Chitrasabai Nataraja stands out with the circular *kadani* (Ratna Thadangam) earrings adorning both ears during the procession—a beauty of its own! In this collage we can see a similar type of thadangam in the sculptures of the Madurai Meenakshi Temple—specifically at the entrance of the Astasakthi Mandapam near the east gate of the Meenakshi Amman Temple, and in the 1000-pillar Mandapam, which belongs to the Nayaka period. From this, we can understand that such ornaments were commonly used in society at that time. Unfortunately, these kinds of golden thadangas are no longer seen in real-time use today. These thadangams were extended versions of patrakundalas which were still used by pania tribes of tamil nadu & Kerala.
