What I learnt was that most of the dancing statues that I could see there were dedicated to the queen Shantala, wife of King Vishnu Vardhana. She was a dancer whose way of offering prayers to Vishnu was through dance. I have been to Pondicherry a couple of times, I wish I had known this legend then...<br /><br />Glad to have stopped by via Beloo's blog :)Seetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194083543016188498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468656721409880124.post-12840792352159230852014-09-07T14:20:38.398+05:302014-09-07T14:20:38.398+05:30That was an interesting, well-narrated story!

But personally I believe there is a lot of deeper truth hidden in these legends and stories that have survived the test of time. It is up to the listener of the story to discover that truth, in a way. And I am totally with you about the Siddhas and Yogis...there are a lot of realities out there that are beyond our limited perception and mental understanding.

You know I believe that legends are never spun around fiction but are based on facts, which slowly get embellished -- sometimes out of shape too. And having heard of and read about Siddhas of Tamil Nadu, I can believe it. Loved the way you have left it tantalisingly to the reader to come to their own conclusion while rousing their curiosity to visit the place. I am lookng forward to the day when my wish to visit Auroville will come true!Zephyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03900695572499869739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468656721409880124.post-18676108165929097672014-09-04T15:09:24.803+05:302014-09-04T15:09:24.803+05:30Congratulations for an interesting and informative...Congratulations for an interesting and informative guest post Beloo and Eli.
