Шива

Статуа која приказује Шиву као космичку плесачицу.

Статуа у Бангалору, приказан је Шива како медитира, у мушкој форми.

Шива (санскрит: शिव Śiva, бенгали: শিব, телугу: శివుడు) или Велико божанство (Mahadeva) је једно од три највиша божанства у Индији, уз Браму и Вишну, представља свето тројство (Тримурти) у хиндуизму.

Шива је некад представљена као мушко, некад као женско божанство, и може узети разне форме. Првобитно божанство ватре, као оживитељице и уништитељке васељене. Представља се са два лица, од којих једно означава плодност, а друго милост. Симболи Шиве су бик Нанди, као и фалус Линга.

У лику Шиве се изражава двовалентност времена - она наизменично ствара и уништава, производи светове и реапсорбују их у вечном збивању, које ће иконографија представити плесним покретом: Шива у руци држи бубањ којим изазива представу о звуку, симболу стварања, а у другој има пламен, ватру која на крају сваког раздобља уништава свемир. Велика мајка је бела и црна, Дурга и Кали, живот и смрт, а смењивањем ове две фазе обезбеђена је трајност.

Мантра у славу Шиве гласи Ом Нама Шиваја (Aum Namah Śivāya, деванагаријем: ॐ नमः शिवाय)

По њему је назван Шивизам.
