Shiva, one of the main gods of Hinduism, is regarded by the Shaivites as the supreme god. His common nicknames include Shambhu ("benign"), Shankara ("kindness"), Mahesha ("great Lord") and Mahadeva ("great God"). Shiva is usually portrayed as a white and blue neck in paintings and sculptures (because of the poison produced by the tumbling of the universe and the ocean in his throat, which threatens to destroy the world). The world), his hair is coiled into a loop (jatamakuta), decorated with a crescent moon and the Ganges (according to legend, he brought the Ganges) from the sky to the earth, where she is the Milky Way, let the river flow from his hair Passed, thus preventing her fall). Shiva has three eyes. The third eye gives inward vision, but it can burn and destroy when focusing outward. He wears a skull wreath, a snake hanging from his neck, and two (sometimes four) hands holding deerskin, trident, tambourine, or a stick with a skull at the end. Shiva plays multiple roles as a Hindu deity. He is a great ascetic, a master of fertility, a master of poisons, and a master of cattle. His comprehensive role is a model of Hindu's tendency to see complementary qualities in an ambiguous figure.
