Lord Shiva appears
in a meditating but ever-happy posture. He has matted hair which holds the flowing Ganges
river and a crescent moon, a serpent coiled around his neck, a trident (trishul) in his
one hand and ashes all over his body.
The Lord's attributes represent his victory over the demonic activity, and calmness of
human nature. He is known as the "giver" god. His vehicle is a bull (symbol of
happiness and strength) named Nandi.
Shiva-Linga, a sign of the Lord, is adored instead of him. Shiva temples have Shiva-Linga
as the main deity. |
