Shiva

Shiva ("bringing happiness"), in Hindu mythology, is one of the supreme gods, who, together with Vishnu and Brahma, forms the divine triad - trimurti. Brahma personifies the aspect of God the creator, Vishnu is the guardian and protector, and Shiva is the destroyer and destroyer. Shiva is not only a kind protector, but also a formidable god who lives on the battlefields and around funeral pyres. Often he was depicted with a rope on which skulls are strung. Shiva is the creator god and at the same time the god of time and, consequently, destruction, the god of fertility and at the same time an ascetic who suppressed desires and dwells high in the Himalayas on Mount Kailash. Sometimes he even appeared as a bisexual creature. These mutually exclusive qualities symbolized the deity, who absorbed all the contradictions of the world, who is assigned the role of the destroyer of the world and the gods at the end of each kalpa, a period equal to 8.640 million human years
