Sangita Rangala is an Odissi dancer based in the USA. Here, she performs Shiva Tandava Stotra - Jata-tavi-galaj-jvala-pravaha-pavita-sthale in Raga Bhatiyar and Tala Khemta as a mangalacharan, followed by the sabha pranam.
Ravana
Shiva
Shiva Tandava Stotram is said to be composed by Ravana. Vigorous, almost athletic in metre, the composition describes Shiva in all his glory. His matted locks pulsate with the energy of the river Ganga. Snakes, poised to strike, adorn his arms, neck, waist and legs. Glory be to Shiva, who has a brilliant fire flaming on the surface of his forehead, and who wears the crescent moon as a jewel on his head. His third eye opens with the promise of complete destruction.
