Shiva Tandava Stotram || Indian Powerful Stotram
Shiva Tandav Stotram is a Sanskrit hymn that describes Lord Shiva's power and beauty. It is traditionally attributed to Ravan, who is considered as the greatest devotee of Lord Shiva.
When Ravan tried to lift Mount Kailash to take Lord Shiva along with him to Lanka. This led Shiva to press his toe upon Kailash which in turn crushed the fingers of Ravan. It was then that Ravan sang the hymn to escape the wrath of Lord Shiva. The hymn later came to be known as the popular Shiva Tandav Stotram.
