If you look at the South Face, you will see a wedge-like scar in the center going straight down. They say his drum was dragging behind him as he slid down and it left a furrow on the mountain all the way down. Ravana went sliding down the South Face of Kailash. Then finally, Parvati managed to bring him out of being enthralled, and when Ravana reached the peak, Shiva just pushed him off with his feet. She said, “This man is coming all the way up!” But Shiva was too engrossed in the music and poetry. There is space only for two people on top! So Parvati tried to bring Shiva out of his musical rapture. When Ravana was almost on top, and with Shiva still engrossed in this music, Parvati saw this man climbing up. As he sang, slowly, Ravana started climbing Kailash from its Southern Face. Shiva was so pleased and enamored listening to this music.
He had a drum which he used to set the beat and composed 1008 verses extempore, which is called the Shiva Tandava Stotram. He came to Kailash all the way from down south and began to sing Shiva’s praises. Ravana was a fierce devotee of Shiva and there are many stories about them.
Also known as Shiv Tandava, this divine art form depicts the lord’s violent nature as the destroyer of the universe. Lord Shiva’s Tandava is a vigorous dance that is the source of the cycle of creation, preservation and dissolution. This dance, according to the Hindu scriptures, performed by Lord Shiva, is known as Tandava. This form of Lord Shiva is known for the divine art performed by him along with his divine consort, Goddes Parvati Devi. In Hindu scriptures, Lord Shiva is popularly also known as Natarajan which translates to the ‘Dancing God’.
