The rhythmic motion of dance is being nicely painted in the Kalamkari painting in which Lord Shiva is shown dancing over the human figure. The painting is a symbolic of his conquest over ignorance and the dancing posture shows the rhythmic motion of life. The bull represents both power and ignorance. Lord Shiva’s use of the bull as his vehicle expresses the idea that He removes ignorance and bequeaths power of wisdom on His followers. Lord Shiva is one of the Trinity (Brahma and Vishnu being the other ones), and he is responsible for the preservation of the cosmic order.
