Tandava | Bharatanatyam and Kathak

Mridang humbly presents Tandava, a classical dance duet choreography on Shiva Tandava Strotram. Tāṇḍavam is the divinely vigorous dance of Hindu God Shiva. Shiva Tandava Strotram (authorship attributed to Ravana) is a beautiful description of and homage to the God’s energetic dance. Shiva’s matted locks, Ganga’s fierce flow, his body entwined by snakes, the moon shining on his head, the shaking Earth, the sound of the Damaru, his kind benefacting glances, his constant company of Parvati, all send waves of excessive joy in the minds of the devotees. The description of Shiva’s tandava reflects the dynamics of every aspect of the mighty God. We are thankful to The Tabla Guy for letting us use his powerful tabla rendition!
