Kalantaka
Kalantaka (Ender of Death) is an aspect of the Hindu god Shiva as the Conqueror of Time and Death, itself personified by the god Yama. He is depicted as defeating or killing Yama when the latter comes to take the life of Shiva's devotee Markandeya. Shiva is often depicted as dancing on Death, personified by Yama.〔 This incident is believed as happened at Triprangode, Tirur, Malappuram district, Kerala where the Kalasamharamurthy Temple is situated.〔()〕〔()〕 Another chief temple dedicated to Kalantaka is situated at Thirukkadavoor, Tamil Nadu of South India, however the Kalantaka icon is found sculpted in many Shiva temples in the South. ==Names== Kalantaka is also called as Kalakala (the Death of Death),〔 Kalasamhara (slayer of Death), Kalari (Foe of Death) and Kalahara or Kalahari ("one who takes away death") and Markandeyanugraha ("bestowing grace upon Markandeya"). The suffix "murti" meaning image or icon may be added to these names e.g. Kalarimurti or Kalantakamurti.〔 Shiva is also known as Mrityunjaya ("Victor over Death").
