382 people performed Naukasana (Boat Pose) while 352 performed Kaundinya Asan (Sage Kaundinya Asan), Chakrasan (Wheel Posture) was performed by 390, and Natrajasan (Lord Shiva Pose) was done by 595.

Shiva won the contest as Kali did not want to imitate this pose. As Shiva lifted his leg vertically (‘urdhva’ in Sanskrit), the Nataraja image here is known as Urdhava Tandavamurti.
