Shiva Dance God plaque

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.
