Mahashivratri > Shiva Tandava dance  >

Lord Shiva is also known as Nataraj, the God of Dance. This divine art form is performed by Lord Shiva and his divine consort Goddess Parvati. The dance performed by Lord Shiva is known as Tandava. Shiva’s Tandav is a vigorous dance and it  is the source of the cycle of creation, preservation and dissolution. Shiv Tandava depicts his violent nature as the destroyer of the universe.

Characteristics of Tandava Dance
The ‘Characteristics of the Shiva Tandava Dance’ have been described in the fourth chapter of Bharat Muni’s  Naatya Shastra, which is often referred to as the fifth Veda. It says that Shiva’s Tandava is embellished with 108 karanas and the 32 anghaharas - the integral parts of the dance.  Lord Shiva conceived the  Tandav dance, as he was very fond of dancing every evening. Lord Shiva further explains that 108 karnas included in tandava could be employed in the course of dance, fight, and personal combats and in other special movements like strolling. Thus, all these mudras of shiva tandav are really helpful in all walks of life.

Types of Tandava
Some scholars believe that there are seven different types of Tandava. The tandava performed with joy is called Aanand Tandava and the one performed in violent mood is called Rudra Tandava. The other types of tandava identified are Tripura Tandava, Sandhya Tandava, Samara Tandava, Kaali Tandava, Uma Tandava and Gauri Tandava. However, there are few people who even believe that there are 16 types of Tandava.

Significance of Shiva's Tandava Nritya
According to religious scholars, the cosmic dance of Shiva, called 'Aanand tandava,' meaning, ‘the Dance of Bliss’ symbolizes the cosmic cycles of creation and destruction, as well as the daily rhythm of birth and death. The dance is a pictorial depiction of the five principle manifestations of the eternal forms of energy - creation, destruction, preservation, salvation, and illusion.

 

Goddess Parvati dance - Lasya

The dance performed by Goddess Parvati is known as Lasya. In Lasya, the movements are gentle, graceful and sometimes even erotic. Some scholars call Lasya, the feminine version of Tandava. Lasya is of two kinds - Jarita Lasya and Yauvaka Lasya. According to the Puraanas, Shiva dances a wild and vigorous (tandava) dance in the cremation grounds at night but dances a soft and graceful (lasya) dance in the tranquillity of the twilight.

Shiva Tandava Stotram

Shiva Tandava Storam was coined by Ravana - the greatest Shiva devotee of all ages. He rhymed the Shiva Tandav Stotram to praise Lord Shiva. It is believed that a devotee who enchants the Shiv Tandav Stotram every morning is blessed with Lord Shiva's grace and blessings all through his / her life.
