Saivism

Saivism is a major tradition within Hinduism that worships Lord Shiva as the supreme divine. It emphasizes devotion to Shiva through rituals, meditation, and temple worship. Saivism has ancient roots, dating back thousands of years, and encompasses various philosophical schools that explore Shiva's nature—ranging from his role as a creator, destroyer, and transformer of the universe. Followers believe Shiva embodies the ultimate reality, and spiritual growth involves understanding and uniting with his divine powers. Saivism influences art, culture, and spiritual practices across India and other regions, fostering a deep, personal connection with the divine through devotion and philosophy.
