A festive mood! Lord Shiva dances for His Family and friends!!!
A festive mood! Lord Shiva dances for His Family and friends!!! Shivji's dance is Tandava,
Tandava is of many forms and moods.We normally know it as the dance of destruction, perhaps because that is the most forceful of all, seeded in our ancient memory, but that is Raudra Tandav.
But there is also Anand Tandav, a celebrative mood!
and as depicted here,Here,Bhole Shanker dances to an enraptured audience of family and friends! and it all depends on the bhaktas to set His mood.
Did you know the Eklingji Shiva temple in Udaipur has a ceiling which is painted with several forms of Shiv Tandav.
Also, Udaipur is the only kingdom of Erstwhile Royal Rule in India where the Rulers call themselves Rana , and not Raja, Because their forefather , Raja Hammir, a great shiv bhakt declared there is no King except lord shiva . And till today if someone says Mewar Maharaj, it is actually a reference to Shivji!
Aum Namah Shivaya!
