Fabulous, Friends, Forever, Fire!

I had a fabulous day with some forever friends who introduced me to Indian food and a little about the culture. I took this photo of the Hindu god Shiva and was told that he dances in a ring of fire~
Shiva dances in 'Rudra Tandava' or the dance of destruction in an aureole of fire, creating wild thunder storms all around the universe, even shattering the Sun, the Moon and stellar bodies with his matted hair, marks of ash on the forehead, trident and drum, lifting his left leg and balancing over a demon of ignorance, with snakes crawling over his arms, legs and braided hair that depict egotism. His upper right hand holds an hourglass drum or 'dumroo' standing for the male-female vital principle, while the lower gestures us to ''Be fearless''. A skull on his head depicts conquest over death. Goddess Ganga, epitomising the holy river, sits on his hairdo. His third eye represents omniscience, insight and enlightenment.
I had very little time for blipping today and hope I did F a good turn.
