रावण रचित शिव ताण्डव स्त्रोत (in Hindi)

The Shiva Tandava Stotram is a powerful and majestic Sanskrit hymn in praise of Lord Shiva. According to tradition, it was composed by Ravana, the king of Lanka, who was a great scholar and a devoted follower of Shiva. The legend says that when Ravana tried to lift Mount Kailash, Shiva pressed it down with his toe, trapping him beneath. In agony, Ravana composed and sang this hymn in Shiva’s praise, and a pleased Mahadev forgave him.
