Shiva

Destruction & Transformation

The Destroyer in the Trimurti, lord of the cosmic dance of dissolution.

The Mythology

Shiva's Tandava dance will one day dissolve the universe, making way for new creation. Yet this destruction is not evil—it is the necessary clearing away that allows renewal. He is both the fierce destroyer and the serene yogi, embodying the paradox of transcendence through annihilation.
