According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva is often depicted as the Lord of Dance, performing the divine dance known as the Tandava. It is said that during one such cosmic dance, Shiva played the damru to produce the primordial sound of creation, symbolizing the rhythm of the universe.

The sound of the damru is believed to represent the cosmic cycles of creation, preservation, and dissolution.

The damru is held by Shiva, the Adiyogi or the first yogi, signifying the union of opposites and the balance of forces. Its two sides represent the dual aspects of existence – the manifest and the unmanifest, the masculine and the feminine, and the dynamic interplay of Shiva and Shakti.

Devotees believe that chanting this mantra, especially during the rhythmic beats of the damru, invokes the cosmic energy of Shiva. The sound is considered to purify the environment, awaken spiritual consciousness, and align individuals with the natural rhythms of the universe.

The damru plays a prominent role in various cultural and religious celebrations dedicated to Lord Shiva, such as Maha Shivaratri. During these festivities, devotees engage in devotional singing and dancing, accompanied by the resonant beats of the damru, creating an atmosphere of divine celebration.
