 Lord
Shiva represents the aspect of the Supreme Being and is
considered to be the destroyer of evil and sorrow. Shiva
is 'tri netra' or three eyed, and is 'neela kantha' -
blue necked. Shiva - Nataraja is the Divine Cosmic Dancer.
Shiva - Ardhanareeswara is both man and woman. Shiva is
both static and dynamic and is both creator and destroyer.
He is the source of fertility in all living beings. He
has gentle as well as fierce forms. Shiva is the greatest
of renouncers as well as the ideal lover. He destroyes
evil and protects good. He bestows prosperity on worshipers
although he is austere. He is omnipresent and resides
in everyone as pure consciousness.
Lord Shiva is the Lord of mercy and compassion. He protects
devotees from evil forces such as lust, greed, and anger.
He grants boons, bestows grace and awakens wisdom in His
devotees. Lord Shiva is the third member of the Hindu
Trinity, the other two being Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu.
Owing to His cosmic activity of dissolution and recreation,
the words destroyer and destruction have been erroneously
associated with Lord Shiva.
Lakshmi normally appears on one of three vehicles. In
her enlightened aspect, sattvic guna, she accompanies
Vishnu on Garuda. In her materialistic aspect, raja guna,
she appears with two elephants on either side of her.
The owl depicts the pernicious aspect of wealth. Though
its considered a bird of ill omen and a symbol of darkness,
the owl also symbolizes wisdom and intelligence because
of its ability to presage events.
Lord Shiva dissolves the universe for creation of the
next cycle so that the unliberated souls will have another
opportunity to liberate themselves from bondage with the
physical world. Thus, Lord Shiva protects the souls from
pain and suffering that would be caused by a dysfunctional
universe.

in the Linga - Brahma being absorbed into the right, Vishnu
