Shiva is one of the most revered deities in Hindu mythology, a member of the divine triad (trimurti) with Brahma and Vishnu. By virtue of its multiple aspects, benevolent and terrifying at the same time, it takes on different forms and epithets.

As the lord of time he presides over the incessant creation-annihilation-regeneration dynamic, the rhythm of which is marked by his cosmic dance. In addition to being supremely powerful and a destroyer, he is also revered as a divine ascetic.

The female deity who often accompanies him, symbol of his shakti or vital energy, also takes on different guises and is gradually identified with Uma, Parvati, Durga, Kali. The multiplicity of the god’s manifestations is underlined by particular iconographies, which portray him with a half-male and half-female body, or as a three-headed figure.
