Shiva

 


Shiva is one of the principal deities in Hinduism and is considered part of the Trimurti alongside Brahma and Vishnu. Numerous temples dedicated to Shiva exist across India and beyond, often featuring lingams as representations of the deity.


 Hindu scriptures describe the worship of Shiva and the establishment of temples and shrines across the Indian subcontinent. 


Among these, the Jyotirlinga temples are considered particularly significant.
