Fire circle

The hindu dance was born on the antique Indian temples to represent mythological scenes. Even on the most remote documents, it appears Rudra the howler -the future Shiva-, whose avatar is Nataraja, the majestic dance god, represented by four arms dancing on the inside of a fire circle and resting on a dwarf. The dance he performs -called anandatandava-, is characterized by very abrupt and frantic movements that get smooth little by little till leading to the Creation.
