'''Kanagasabai''' ({{lang-ta|கனகசபை}}) is a [[Tamils|Tamil]] male [[given name]]. Due to the [[Tamil name|Tamil tradition]] of using [[patronymic surname]]s it may also be a [[surname]] for males and females.<br />
<br />
Kanagasabai is the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] name of the court in the temple of the [[Hindu]] god [[Shiva]] in [[Chidambaram]] in the [[States and territories of India|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.<br />
