Thiruvathirai

குனித்த புருவமும் கொவ்வைச்செவ்வாயில் குமிண் சிரிப்பும்
பனித்த சடையும் பவளம் போல் மேனியிற் பால்வென்ணீறும்
இனித்தமுடைய எடுத்த பொற்பாதமும் காணப் பெற்றால்
மனித்தப் பிறவியும் வேண்டுவதோ இம் மானிலத்தே

Bent brows, beautiful red lips sporting a broad smile, Wet hair, fair body shining like a jewel, one foot lifted and if you get to see all of these, your birth as human being in this country is a blessed one.Thirunavukkarasar describing Shiva as Nataraja of Chidambaram.

Arudra Darshanam celebrates the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva, which is represented by the Nataraja form. The cosmic dance of Lord Shiva represents five activities – Creation, Protection, Destruction, Embodiment and Release. In essence, it represents the continuous cycle of creation and destruction. This cosmic dance takes place in every particle and is the source of all energy. AKCA PROPOSES TO:
