Cultural Relics from the Jola Era: Statue of Shiva Nataraja Igneous Rock in India

Shiva is one of the three main deities of Hinduism. Its predecessor was the god of reproduction in the Indus civilization era, the Beast Lord, and the god of the Vedic Storm, Loudra. It has a dual personality of reproduction and destruction, creation and destruction, presenting various strange and bizarre appearances, mainly including the Ringa aspect, gentle aspect, superhuman aspect, dance king aspect, Ringa's main aspect, and half female aspect. Ringa is the most basic symbol of Shiva. Like many gods in mythology, due to the omniscient and omnipotent nature of Shiva, her gender is not fixed, but constantly changes according to her different forms. In Buddhist literature, Shiva is referred to as the Great Self in Heaven, residing at the top of the realm of color, and being the Lord of the Three Thousand Realms.
