Lord Shiva~

Wallpaper Description:

While Shiva is the destroyer, his role is viewed as beneficial, since destruction is necessary for creation and destruction can also represent sublimation of the lower energies to devotion. He is often depicted with:

* A third eye, which looks beyond the illusionary nature of manifest reality (maya)
* The cobra representing death and Shiva’s conquest of it, and dormant energy, Kundalini, often pictured as a serpent at the base of the spine
* The crescent represents his control over time
* Ashes on his body demonstrate that death is beneath all life
