Shiva is one among the Trimurti, the Divine Trinity. Hailed as Mahadeva, the Great God, he is regarded as the God of destruction/dissolution. He is worshipped in the form of Shiva Lingam, and his Divine vehicle is Nandi, the Divine Bull. Compassionate Shiva can be invoked to remove difficulties, diseases, negativities, and sorrows, and bestow immense strength and power.
