Nature – the supreme reality exists in the form of five basic elements (water, wind, space, fire and earth). To establish oneness of nature and God, Lord Shiva manifests himself as these five elements. The manifestation of Lord Shiva as these five elements in five different places of worship in South India has been depicted through this Bharatanatyam presentation.

As Water in Thiruvanaikkaval – Jambukeshwara

As Wind in Thiru Kalahasti – Kalahasteeshwara

As Ether or Space in Chidambaram – Nataraja

As Fire in Thiruvannamalai – Arunachaleshwara

As Earth in Kancheepuram – Ekambareshwara

This production was inspired by Dr.Sudha Seshayyan’s book on Pancha Bhoota Stalam.
