During a severe flood in the Thanjavur district, the ferries ceased operations. Desperate villagers watched as a naked ash-smeared yogi approached the raging waters. Without a boat, he stepped onto the river. But he did not walk on the surface. Instead, he performed the Anandha Thandavam —a rhythmic, slow-motion dance where each footfall caused a lotus to bloom beneath his feet. Witnesses reported that he sang the Tiruvachakam (sacred hymns of Manikkavacakar) while dancing across the flood, reaching the opposite bank without a drop of water touching his matted locks. anandha thandavam tamil yogi
