Chittipati, often referred to as the Lord of the Cremation Grounds, represents the powerful Buddhist concept of impermanence. Depicted as dancing skeletal figures, Chittipati reminds practitioners of the transient nature of life and the importance of spiritual liberation. Despite their fearsome appearance, Chittipati's dance symbolizes the victory over ego and attachment, helping devotees to transcend the material world and embrace the truth of death and rebirth.
