Legend: The Story Of Chidambaram Begins With The Legend Of Lord Shiva Strolling Into The Thillai Vanam (Vanam Meaning Forest And Thillai Trees - Botanical Name Excoecaria Agallocha, A Species Of Mangrove Trees, Which Currently Grows In The Pichavaram Wetlands Near Chidambaram. The Temple Sculptures Depicting The Thillai Trees Date Back To The 2nd Century BCE). In The Thillai Forests Resided A Group Of Saints Or 'rishis' Who Believed In The Supremacy Of Magic And That God Can Be Controlled By Rituals And 'mantras' Or Magical Words. The Lord Strolls In The Forest With Resplendent Beauty And Brilliance, Assuming The Form Of 'Pitchatanadar', A Simple Mendicant Seeking Alms. He Is Followed By His Grace And Consort Who Is Lord Vishnu As Mohini. The Rishis And Their Wives Are Enchanted By The Brilliance And The Beauty Of The Handsome Mendicant And His Consort.On Seeing Their Womenfolk Enchanted, The Rishis Get Enraged And Invoke Scores Of 'serpents' (Sanskrit: Nāga) By Performing Magical Rituals. The Lord As The Mendicant Lifts The Serpents And Dons Them As Ornaments On His Matted Locks, Neck And Waist. Further Enraged, The Rishis Invoke A Fierce Tiger, Which The Lord Skins And Dons As A Shawl Around His Waist.Thoroughly Frustrated, The Rishis Gather All Their Spiritual Strength And Invoke A Powerful Demon Muyalachan - A Symbol Of Complete Arrogance And Ignorance. The Lord Wearing A Gentle Smile, Steps On The Demon's Back, Immobilizes Him, Performs The Ánanda Thaandavam (The Dance Of Eternal Bliss) And Discloses His True Form. The Rishis Surrender, Realising That This Lord Is The Truth And He Is Beyond Magic And Rituals.
  2. The Ananda Thandavam: Adhisesha, The Serpent Who Serves As A Bed For The Lord In His Manifestation As Vishnu, Hears About The Änanda Thaandavam And Yearns To See And Enjoy It. The Lord Blesses Him, Beckons Him To Assume The Saintly Form Of 'Patanjali' And Sends Him To The Thillai Forest, Informing Him That He Will Display The Dance In Due Course. Patanjali Who Meditated In The Himalayas During The Krita Age Joins Another Saint, Vyagrapathar / Pulikal Muni (Vyagra / Puli Meaning "Tiger" And Patha / Kaal Meaning "Feet" – Referring To The Story Of How He Sought And Got The Feet And Eyesight Of A Tiger To Help Climb Trees Well Before Dawn To Pick Flowers For The Lord Before The Bees Visit Them).

They Move Into The Thillai Forest And Worship Lord Shiva In The Form Of Shivalinga, A Deity Worshiped Today As Thirumoolar An Eswarar (Thiru - Sri, Mooladhanam - Primordial Or In The Nature Of A Foundation, Eswarar- The Lord). Legends Say That Lord Shiva Displayed His Dance Of Bliss (The Aanandha Thaandavam) - As Nataraja To These Two Saints On The Day Of The Poosam Star In The Tamil Month Of Thai (Jan – Feb).
  3. The Ananda Tandava Posture: The Ananda Tandava Posture Of Lord Shiva Is One Of The Famous Postures Recognized Around The World By Many. This Celestial Dancing Posture Tells Us How A Bharatanatyam Dancer Should Dance.

The Lord Is Also Hence Referred To As The Sabanayagar, Meaning The Lord Of The Stage.
  2.
