Shiva Mask - Ancient Indian Art Sculpture

Shiva Mask

Shiva is a form of Eashwara or God in the Vedic
scriptures or as corrupted in Hinduism. Adi
Sankara interprets the name Śiva to mean "One
who purifies everyone by the utterance of His
name" or the Pure One, that is, one who is not
affected by the three gunas (characteristics) of
Prakrti (matter): Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas.
However, Śiva is commonly known as "the
destroyer." Additionally, Śiva can also mean, "the
Auspicious One." He is often depicted as the
husband of Uma. In the process of creation, Lord
Shiva is the primeval being and creates the other
members of the trimurti. He is symbolized by the
wisdom of the Serpent. Mahadeva is another
name for Shiva.
