Shiva's association with dance and art is well known. He is also known as the Lord of Dance (Nataraja). Many statues of him are available in this form. In the religious texts he is also described as the one who performs a particular type of dance called tandava, whenever he is disturbed or angry (tandavamurthi) or when the time for the end of the world comes. When he is in a peaceful mode, he said to perform more pleasant dance known as Lasya, displaying his feminine side. Both the dance forms denote the creative and destructive aspects of our creation and Siva being the Lord of all, He performs actions according to the needs of the occasion.
Om Namah Shivay
