Changed: 1c1

Siva (also spelt Shiva) is a Hindu god. He is the third god of the Trimurti? (popularly called the "Hindu trinity"). In the trimurti, Shiva is the destroyer, while Brahama and Vishnu are creator and preserver, respectively. However, even though he represents destruction, he is viewed as a positive force, since creation follows on from destruction.
