Origin

Shiva is the god of destruction in Hinduism, and one of the Trimurti along with Vishnu and Brahma. In the Shaivite tradition, Shiva is believed to be the Supreme Being.

In the Vedas, Shiva (lit. "the auspicious one") is used as an epithet of the storm god Rudra. Most likely by combining the Vedic Rudra with various popular beliefs, the understanding of Rudra would evolve into the present understanding of Shiva.
