While the Rudra Tandava depicts Lord Shiva's violent nature, first as the creator and later as the destroyer of the universe, even of death itself; the Ananda Tandava depicts him as the enjoyer of his creation - the universe.

The Sanskrit word, 'Shiven' means 'of LORD SHIVA'. Shiva is an adjective meaning auspicious, kind, gracious. Shiva is a major Hindu god. In the Shaiva tradition of Hinduism, Shiva is seen as supreme God. Followers of Hinduism who focus their worship upon Shiva are called Shaivites or Shaivas. Shiva is usually worshipped in the form of 'Shiva linga'. In images, he is generally represented as immersed in deep meditation or dancing the Tandava upon maya, the demon of ignorance in his manifestation of Nataraja, the lord of the dance. In some other Hindu denominations, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva represent the three primary aspects of the divine in Hinduism and are collectively known as the Trimurti or trinity. In this school of religious thought, Brahma is the creator, Vishnu is the maintainer or preserver, and Shiva is the destroyer or transformer.
