Shiva

Shiva is one of the principle gods in Hinduism. He is considered the god of destruction/transformation within the Trimurti, which also includes Brahma and Vishnu. He is recognized as the god of time and the cosmic dancer.  He is also known as Adiyogi Shiva, patron god of yoga and meditation. Here he is seen as the cosmic dancer, holding a drum (damaru, to represent time), and Agni or fire. A cobra is close but he holds up one hand in the mudra of fearlessness.
