#Lalatatilakam images show #Shiva (not in the image) lifting his right leg straight upwards parallel to his torso and one of his left arms go up and the hand touches the crown.
One of the right arms of Shiva winds his lifted leg and makes the #abhaya gesture. Some of the earliest of these images are found at #kanchipuram , while some of the later figures of this dance form are from #Chidambaram ,
the Shiva temple at #Vellore in North Arcott District and Tribhuvanam, among others.
