Summary

edit
Description
English: Shiva Dancing. Ravana Phadi Cave Temple, Aihole

Shiva, in his ten-armed form, dances beside Ganesh and Parvati (left, hidden behind pillar). The panel is located in a shallow chamber on the left side as you face the linga shrine. Shiva's elongated torso, high hat, and pleated garments are markers of the Early Western Chalukya style in sculpture.

The panel is considered by Huntington (p. 283) to probably depict Shiva's triumphal dance after he defeated the demon Andakha. Here, though, the elephant skin, under which Shiva usually dances, is replaced by snakes.
