Lord Shiva, also known as Mahadeva or the Great God, is one of the principal deities in Hinduism, revered as the Supreme Being who represents the aspects of destruction, transformation, and regeneration.
Shiva represents the transcendental aspect of the divine, beyond the limitations of form and attributes. He symbolizes the eternal and unchanging reality (Brahman) that underlies the universe's flux and change.
