Shankar or Mahadev is one of the most important deities in the Aranya culture, later known as Sanatana Shiva Dharma. He is a god among the trinity. He is also called Mahadev, the God of Gods. He is also known by the names Bholenath, Shankar, Mahesh, Rudra, Neelkanth, Gangadhar etc. He is also known as Bhairav in Tantra Sadhana. Hindu Shiva Dharma is one of the main deities of Shiva-Dharma.

His name is Rudra in the Vedas. It is the interior of a person’s consciousness. The name of his consort (Shakti) is Parvati. His sons are Kartikeya, Ayyapa and Ganesha, and daughters are Ashoka Sundari, Jyoti and Manasa Devi. Shiva is seen in most paintings as a yogi and is worshiped in both the form of a Shivalinga and an idol. The serpent deity is seated around Shiva’s neck and holds Damru and Trishul in his hands. He resides in Kailash. This is the basis of Shaivism. In this opinion, along with Shiva, Shakti is worshiped in all forms.

Shankar ji is called the god of destruction. Shankar ji is famous for both his gentle face and fierce form. It has been considered from other gods. Shiva is the ruler of the origin, condition and destruction of the universe. Among the trinity, Lord Shiva is considered the God of destruction. Shiva is eternal and the primary source of the creation process and this Kaal Mahakaal is the basis of astrology. Although the meaning of Shiva is considered to be welfare, but he has always kept both rhythm and holocaust under his control. Ravana, Shani, Kashyap Rishi etc. have become his devotees. Shiva sees everyone equally, that’s why he is called Mahadev.

Just as this universe has no end, no end and no beginning, in the same way Shiva is eternal, the whole universe is contained inside Shiva, when there was nothing then also there was Shiva; Shiva is called Mahakal, meaning time. Shiva sustains the entire universe through this form of his. Through this form, God has gathered all the planets with the power of his oj and heat. This form of God is considered very benevolent because the base of the entire creation rests on this form. Lord Shankar has been described as Tamoguna in the holy Shri Devi Bhagwat Mahapuran, the proof of this has been given in Shri Devi Bhagwat Mahapuran.
