Shiva's image is three eyes and four arms, and she can easily observe every place in the world. Compared with other well-dressed gods, Shiva's dress is out of place. His face is dignified and handsome, his skin color is extremely light, he has long blue-black hair as confused as an ascetic, his head is decorated with Ganges and crescent moon, and a skeleton necklace is hung around his neck; The upper body is half naked, the lower body is wrapped in a tiger skin, and the whole body is wrapped in cobras, holding tridents and bows and arrows, wandering between ghost graves. When he showed his horror, all life in the universe trembled for it. Therefore, it is called "Ghost King".
In addition, Shiva has a more common image-Linga. Linga is a male genitalia, symbolizing regeneration. According to legend, Shiva didn't care about creating the world with Brahma at first, and went to the seabed to practice alone. As a result, when she went out to sea, she found that everything in the world was arranged. In anger, he cut off his genitals and threw them into the world. Since then, Indians have worshipped Linga.
Although the name of the god of destruction sounds terrible, Shiva is an all-powerful god-he is the ancestor of Indian dance, so he is also called the "God of Dance". Shiva can dance 108 kinds of dances, which can be divided into two types: feminine and vigorous. He likes dancing when he is happy or sad, either alone or with his wife. Usually Shiva dances in the ring of fire, with her hair flying upwards, one foot standing on the dwarf who represents ignorance, and the other leg and hand twisting in the air, dancing gracefully and beautifully. Its right hand holds a drum, symbolizing life; The flame is held in the palm of the left hand, symbolizing destruction.
Shiva, as the god of destruction and destruction, is naturally the most powerful among the gods. He practiced yoga hard all the year round at Kippu Peak in the Himalayas, and gained the most profound knowledge and magical wisdom through the strictest asceticism and the most thorough meditation. At the same time, he also has a powerful army, and all the soldiers are made up of terrible demons. And the third eye on his forehead is a more terrible weapon than a nuclear bomb. This eye is always closed. Once opened, it will spew out the angry fire of Conan the destroyer and destroy everything it sees. Even god is not immune. It was this eye that burned the goddess of love who seduced Shiva.
In addition, Shiva's mount is a white bull, and the trident in her hand is a symbol of lightning, which can drive away the storm; The black bow and arrow on the back can spread the plague. The cobra wrapped around it can quickly rush to feed the enemy. With these magical weapons, Shiva fought everywhere, killed countless demons and destroyed Sanliancheng in Asura.
Shiva is the god who best embodies the complexity and duality of Hindu gods. He has a dual character of good and evil, and his temperament is both violent and gentle. Accept the "living sacrifice" as the ferocious and terrible "devil king" and accept the worship as the loving and enthusiastic "Lord of ten thousand people"; It is not only a symbol of wisdom, but also an idol of fools, an avenger and protector, an energetic ideal man, and an ascetic monk who has no desire or desire. Start a competition, catch and destroy anyone, and his anger will make the whole universe tremble; Gentle, sensitive and generous to others. If you describe him in one sentence, it is: absolutely strong, absolutely cool!
