This Four-Arm Standing image of Lord Shiva presents him with three of his usual attributes, namely the watering can (kendi), the fly whisk (chamara) and the prayer beads (akshamala). The front of his crown bears a skull representing Shiva as the destroyer, but the water can, (kendi) equally presents him as the creator.
Shiva is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. He is the Supreme Being within Shaivism, one of the major traditions within contemporary Hinduism. Shiva is the "destroyer of evil and the transformer" within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity that includes Brahma and Vishnu.
