Ram Yashvardhan aka Lord Shiv of Shiv Shakti said, “Ardhanareshwar is one of the most powerful avatars of Lord Shiv who merges with his consort Parvati, creating a form that was half-man and half-woman. It represents the harmony between the male and female aspects of the universe. Lord Shiv, the greatest deity knows that he is incomplete without his better half, Shakti. On this auspicious day when we celebrate the Maha Shivratri and Women’s day, I am reminded of the profound impact our labour of love has had on people and I hope they understand the value that women bring to our lives. May our prayers bring us closer to the divine.”

 

Subha Rajput, who plays Goddess Shakti, shared, “The divine coincidence of celebrating Maha Shivratri and Women's Day together symbolizes one of the most potent forms of Lord Shiv - Ardhanareshwar. It represents the synthesis of masculine and feminine energies of the universe (Purusha and Prakriti) and illustrates how Shakti, is inseparable from Shiv and vice versa. I hope our show continues to bring the viewers the same enlightenment as it has always.”

 

Adding further to it was Garima Verma, who essays the role of Maa Ganga, as she stated, “Being a Shiv Bhakt, I feel a sense of honour to play the role of Ganga in the show, Shiv Shakti -Tap Tyag Tandav. Mahashivratri is a all about connecting with the spiritual essence of Lord Shiva and Ganga. Like everytime, I will be visiting temples, offering prayers and flowers to lord Shiva, Shakti, and Ganga. Beyond these rituals, the role of Ganga prompts me to think about the profound truths of life— the constant flow of change and renewal. It's a humbling experience that fills me with gratitude. Since, the festival is falling on the Women’s day, I would like to salute all the women power around me who are the Shaktis in our life. Om Namah Shivay!”
