   Siva, also known as Shiva, is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. He is revered as the Supreme Being within Shaivism, one of the major traditions within contemporary Hinduism. He is also known as "The Destroyer" within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity that includes Brahma and Vishnu. Shiva is typically depicted with a third eye on his forehead, a snake around his neck, and various other symbols and attributes. However, despite his destructive role, he is also considered a benevolent deity and is often worshipped as a symbol of mercy, righteousness, and compassion.

1. Siva

   or Çiva, the Destroyer in the Hindu trinity, in which Brahma is the Creator and Vishnu the Preserver; Vishnu representing, as it were, death issuing in life, and Siva life issuing in death, the transition point, and Brahma, who, by means of them, "kills that he may make alive." He is worshipped as "Mahâdêva" or the great god, and his worshippers are called Saivas or Çaivas, as distinct from those of Vishnu, which are called Vaishnavas. The linga (q. v.) is his symbol, in emblem of the creation which follows destruction. See Psalm xc. 3.
