Kanagasabai is the Tamil name of the court in the temple of the Hindu god Shiva in Chidambaram in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. In this temple the main idol is in the dancing form, which is usually called Nataraja. Kanagasabai is a combination of two Tamil words, kanagam meaning gold and sabai meaning court. Since the idol is believed to be performing Bharathanatyam, one of the traditional Indian dance forms, in the court made of gold, the court is called Kanagasabai. The Chidambaram Temple also has a traditional name of Kanagasabai.
