In Hinduism, Shiva is considered one the three highest aspects of Brahman, or one of the Trimurtis, and identified with the universal function of destruction. His abode is Kailash and his consort Maa Parvati. Ganesha and Kartikeya are his divine sons, who also occupy an important place in the Hindu pantheon. Shiva's vehicle is Nandi, the divine bull. Shaivism is the most popular sect of Hinduism, next to Vaishnavism. Shaivism is a tradition of the masses. It rejects caste privileges that come with birth and exclusive rights of Brahmanas in Hindu ritual traditions. Shiva is worshipped by millions people not only in India but elsewhere also where Hindus live. Shiva goes by many names and has many forms which include his pleasant and fierce forms. Shiva is also the most popular deity of Tantra and Shakta traditions.

Shiva loves his family and children as much as he loves his devotees. He also has an extended family of gods and ganas, who are very fond of him and who love to spend their time in his company. Which means one can learn from Shiva about family values, and the importance of loving and caring relationships. Shiva loves Ganesha so much that he declared that Ganesha will be the leader of his followers and will be worshipped first in the beginning of all religious activities for successful outcomes. So Ganesha is adored and worshiped across the world and throughout time. His scriptures are found every where across the globe. Clearly his worship is not limited to India , but is practiced worldwide. 🐍👁🔱🕉💀🌙🐘🔔🍃🐚🌷🌀✨🎨
