Sita narrates to Kush & Luv, upon their inquiry, an occasion when Shiva did get enraged - the occasion being Sati's sacrifice @ Daksha's yagna.

As the story goes, Daksha held a grand yagna w/o inviting Shiva and Sati to slight Shiva. Sati tries to get Shiva to come with her, but he declines. So Sati goes to the yagna herself and demands to know from her father why Shiva wasn't invited. Daksha responds that the yagna was only for the devas, and he has no relationship remaining with Shiva. Sati gets furious at this and enters the yagna fire itself, thereby disrupting the yagna.

Sita then narrates to them how Shiva created Virbhadra to destroy Daksha's yagna and kill him, while dancing the terrifying tandava dance. Later, Shiva relents and allows Daksha to be restored to life and complete his yagna, despite having lost Sati.

    Read the 'More info' section on the right: for all my videos, I explain the video. In this case, it's about the occasion where Sati goes to an yagna her father is holding where Shiva and Sati are not invited, and it ends up with Sati immolating herself. For more details, see the description of the video.
