Lord Shiva is one of the principal deities in Hinduism, regarded as "The Destroyer" within the Trimurti, the trinity of supreme divinity that includes Brahma (The Creator) and Vishnu (The Preserver). He is often seen as both a protector and a force of destruction, symbolizing the cyclical nature of creation, preservation, and dissolution in the universe.
Shiva is worshipped in many forms, including as the meditative ascetic and as the cosmic dancer, **Nataraja**, who performs the Tandava dance, symbolizing the destruction and creation of the universe. Devotees often pray to Shiva for blessings, spiritual growth, and liberation (moksha).
