What kind of god is Shiva?

As early as the seals unearthed in the Indus Valley, we saw the image of the fairy. This god who appeared before Brahma and Vishnu is Shiva. He can be said to be one of the gods in India. In Rigveda, Shiva is the father of Fengshen and is called rudra. He was brown all over, his neck was livid, his hair was braided and he was armed with a bow and arrow. Rudra lives in the mountains and has a dual character of good and evil. He used 65,438+0,000 kinds of herbs to treat people and animals, but once he got angry, he would hurt people and animals with lightning.

In the late Vedic era, Shiva became the god of destruction. He gained two arms and his strength increased. He has a god's eye on his forehead. When he wants to destroy something, the third eye will emit a sacred fire, and everything touched by the fire of destruction will turn to ashes.

Shiva, like Vishnu, has different incarnations. When he takes the male genital forest as an image, he becomes the god of rebirth. When he appeared naked and bony, he was the god of asceticism; When he appeared as a dancing figure with one foot on the ground, he became a dancing god again.
