shiva tandavam and parvati lasyam

Post by bharatanatyamrasika »

I believe the story goes like this: when dance was initially created Shiva did the tandavam and Parvati the lasyam - the male and female variations of dance - Shiva's being more vigorous and Parvati's the more graceful. i have seen and heard several songs that praise and celebrate Shiva's ananda tandavam - natanamadinar, yaaradnaar, iduthu padam thooki etc. but i do not know any songs/dances that celebrate the dance of Devi/Durga/Parvati (not her other aspects). Can you please tell me of such songs and dances? Also is there a song/dance that celebrates Shiva's And Parvati's dance together? Lyrics, translations, audio and video clips will be much appreciated. Thank you very much.

These examples may (or may not) depict the dEvis dance explicitly. Smt. NCV used to sing a song of Sri Suddhananda Bharati that goes ADinAL, parASakti naTanam ADinAL....
