Shiva: An Introduction

By Devdutt Pattanaik

Be the first to rate this product!

Shiva is one of the most popular gods of India, and for Westerners, one of the most fascinating.

He is known to walk around half-naked and inebriated, while smeared with ashes from a cremation ground. He rides a bull and has deadly serpents around his neck. Shiva takes as his very own those whom society considers the most loathsome. People who feel unwanted by society, people who feel they are misfits -- all are loved by Shiva.

This book is the story of Shiva and his worship with many photographs and color plates.It's a great story that begins with the creation of man and woman.
