## Prompt

```text
A monumental mythological fantasy painting of Lord Shiva performing the Tandava in the center of a fiery sacred arena, full-body, dynamic dancing pose with one leg raised and the other foot pressing down on a fallen figure beneath him. Shiva has ash-blue skin, a powerfully muscular physique, long wild flowing dark hair exploding outward in all directions, a high matted topknot, and a white crescent moon tucked into the hair. His expression is intense and divine. A cobra is coiled around his neck, and he wears multiple rudraksha bead necklaces, bracelets, and armlets, large circular earrings, and sacred ornaments. His clothing is a tiger-skin loincloth with dramatic red-orange cloth sashes whipping through the air. One raised hand holds a small damaru drum, one front hand is lifted in a blessing gesture with the Om symbol visible on the palm, and another hand conjures a bright flame above the open palm. Behind his head is a large glowing circular halo inscribed repeatedly with Sanskrit mantra text, creating a radiant mandala effect. The setting is an apocalyptic Himalayan temple landscape with dark storm clouds, smoke, embers, rocky mountains, waterfalls, and ancient stone shrines and temple towers on both the left and right sides. A trident wrapped with red cloth stands upright on the left side of the scene. Around Shiva is a circle of exactly 10 worshippers and ascetics, split across both sides, shown chanting, kneeling, raising arms, carrying torches, and playing drums in devotion. Beneath Shiva is exactly 1 fallen dark-skinned male figure lying on the stone ground. The ground is cracked and molten, with a blazing ring of lava and fire encircling the dance platform. Use dramatic cinematic lighting, glowing orange firelight against deep charcoal shadows, highly detailed anatomy, intricate jewelry and textures, swirling hair and fabric motion, devotional epic fantasy realism, painterly brushwork, symmetrical central composition, ultra-detailed, high contrast, vertical poster format.
