Gold and White Lord Shiva Murthi

Lord Shiva is Shaivism’s supreme God, and is also known as Lord Mahadev, Lord Mahesh, and Lord Bholenath. In scriptures, He is depicted in the following benevolent forms:

• An omniscient Yogi leading an ascetic life on Mount Kailash
• A celestial householder living with His wife Goddess Parvati, and sons namely, Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartikeya

In His abstract form, Shivji is worshipped as a Lingam, also known as a Shivling. This representation portrays His limitless, transcendent, unchanging, and formless qualities.
