Tandav | Shivaratri Special | Thandavam | Adira and Aishwarya Das

Shiva is the Supreme Lord who creates, protects, and transforms the universe. On this occasion of Mahashivaratri, we are presenting you tandava in praise of Mahadeva. Presenting you all the 2 significant stories of Samudra Manthan and the Apasmara Daman and Shiva taking the ultimate form of the cosmic dancer, The divine NATARAJA. NEELKANTHA- Mahashivaratri is a major festival in Hinduism, and this festival is solemn and marks a remembrance of “overcoming darkness and ignorance“ in life and the world. It is believed that on this particular day Lord Shiva gulped the Halahala produced during Samudra Manthan. Shiva consumed the poison to protect the three worlds and which in the process gave a blue hue to his throat. In some versions as Lord Shiva drank the poison, he was suffering intense pain, but could not die, as seen by Parvati, his consort. She immediately places a hand on his throat, stopping the poison to flow any further, and by her, Maya stopped it forever.
