Description

Nataraja is the dancing posture of the god Shiva, who performs his divine dance as a part of his activities of creation and destruction.
It`s very important to dance Bharatanatyam.

Krishna
The classical dances of India, especially Odissi and Manipuri, draw heavily on the Mahābhārata. The 'Rasa lila' dances performed in Vrindavana shares elements with Kathak, and the Krisnattam, performed now exclusively at the Guruvayur temple, was the precursor of Kathakali. The beautiful classical Sattriya dance form, founded by the Assamese Vaishnava Saint Sankardeva, extols the virtues of Krishna.

I'm curious about your choice of depicting Shiva and Krsna together like this. I read your description but am still a little confused. That said, very beautiful use of colors, light, and juxtaposition. Shiva and Krsna are my 2 favorites and I'd like to ask your permission to post it on my myspace (linked to your deviant page of course.)
