Lord Shiva: The Destroyer & Transformer

Shiva is the third deity of the Trimurti who destroys the universe at the end of each cycle to enable new creation. He is also the supreme ascetic, the lord of yoga, and Nataraja — the cosmic dancer. Shaivism, the tradition centered on Shiva, is one of Hinduism's oldest and most widespread paths. He embodies both the fierce and the benevolent.
