Lord Shiva Performing Tandava Dance, Shiva-the two opposite things, archetypal ascetic, and archetypal dancer. On one hand, he is Total Tranquility-inward calm absorbed in the void of the Absolute, where all distinctions merge and dissolve, and all tensions are at rest. But on the other hand, he is Total Activity-life’s energy, frantic, aimless, and playful.

Part of the Panel of Bodhisattva Padmapani. (Ajanta Cave 1), This painting represents the noble and consonantly extensive panel of Bodhisattva Padmapani [‘the one who holds a lotus in his hand’], depicted to the left of the entrance of the ante-chamber fronting the enshrined Buddha himself. A gandharva – couple is watching the Bodhisattva from a hill abode. A couple of kinnaras, celestial musicians, plays on instruments - the male on a lute and the female on cymbals – in honour of the Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva Padmapani himself – the focal figure of the elaborate panel, towers over all his paraphernalia; his head is held high among the cloudy hills. Yet, unconscious of the majestic surroundings, his figure, of peerless grace, dissolves, as it were, in infinite compassion for the living world in sympathy with its miseries and with a promise of deliverance. Popularly known as Padmapani.
