Shiva
Shiva (
IAST: , also spelled Siva; Hindi, Shiv) is one of the principal
deities of
Hinduism. Often called "the Destroyer", Shiva is one of the
Trimurti, along with Brahma the Creator and Vishnu the Preserver. Within
Shaivism he is viewed as the supreme deity, whereas in other branches of Hinduism such as the
Smarta tradition he is worshipped as one of five manifestations of the divine. Followers of Hinduism who focus their worship upon Shiva are called Shaivites or Shaivas (Sanskrit ). His role as the primary deity of Shaivism is reflected in his epithets ("great god"; = great + deva = god), ("great lord"; = great + = lord), and ("Supreme Lord"). Shaivism, along with traditions that focus on
Vishnu, and traditions that focus on the
goddess are three of the most influential denominations in Hinduism.
