HIGHLIGHTS:
Shiva is one of the most popular gods of the Hindu trinity. The cult of Shiva is called Shaivism. It has been in vogue in Nepal, since the early centuries of the Christaian era. Iconography points out that the Shiva cult appeared in Nepal as lingam (phallus) worship. Some scholars are of the opinion that phallic worship was probably borrowed from some aboriginal tribes as their god was the phallus of Shisna devata. Shiva-linga is identified as cosmic Purusha.
Shiva is the lord of destruction, and is generally represented in three forms: i) Lingam ii) Anthropomorphic form and iii) Natraj or Nasa deva (Lord of artistic skill)
