		The “practice of tandava dance in public” is not “an essential part of” religious practice, said the court, thus upholding a Calcutta police commissioner’s order of nearly two decades ago that denied Ananda Margis permission to perform the dance in public.
		His separate dissenting judgment said tandava dance was a religious practice and duly covered under the Constitution’s fundamental-rights chapter as it was essentially an integral part of Hinduism among the followers of Shiva (Shaivites).
		The Ananda Marga “code” called the Carya Carya did not initially stipulate tandava as an essential rite and a later addition could not be construed as an “essential and integral part”, the majority judgment said.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion
		For, the biggest perpetrators of “public tandava” in the state are the political parties, some of whom have openly defied the Calcutta high court’s ban on political processions on working days.
		It does not take much foresight to see that despite Justice A.R. Lakshmanan’s orders against “carrying weapons, using loud speakers, crackers and coloured powder, obstructing traffic, and raising objectionable, illegal or provocative slogans”, these will continue to be free and frequent indulgences of the political parties, more so with the elections around the corner.
		No matter how unruly members of a religious sect are, they still cannot hold a candle to the tandava performed by their political brethren.

	SoundRoots World Music & mp3 Blog: Tandava's Delicious Diversity (CD Review)
		Vancouver BC-based Tandava is essentially a world-fusion group, incorporating Chinese, Carnatic, Hindustani, and Western classical traditions.
		So seamlessly are these threads woven together, the listener might be excused for thinking this is the traditional music of, well, someplace -- maybe in South Asia or the Middle East.
		The self-titled album maintains its freshness throughout, though the energy seems to flag just a little on "Goyama." Fortunately, it's followed by what could be the group's theme song, "Common Ground," in which Tandava combines an African-sounding guitar line with tabla, erhu, balafon, and percussive vocals speaking of "unity in diversity."
