Chaturbhuja is seen dancing on the cosmic beats arousing from his blue and gold encarved dholak and the dandiya sticks that bang to produce rich soulful and curing sounds. _x000D_The expression of his sparkling lotus eyes, beautiful trunk and that distinctive Shaivite tilak on his forehead portrays his realistic gestures as if in motion.
