: By the time the needles were removed, the village had built a small shrine around him. They mistook his pained dancing for a "Tandav" dance of joy

: In many Indian films and folk stories, Shiva and Hanuman (who is considered an avatar of Shiva) are celebrated together for their power and protection.
