Amar Chitra Katha Stories of Shiva 5-IN-1

Shiva is the third deity of the Hindu trinity. Born out of a power struggle between Brahma and Vishnu he is the lord of destruction and therefore the most fearsome. And yet, he is loved by people for his simplicity, asceticism and extreme readiness to come to the aid of his followers. The relationship between Shiva and his consort, Parvati, is symbolic of the perfect fusion of male and female principles. Shiva, the Supreme Consciousness and male principle, can create and destroy the elements only in conjunction with Shakti, the female principle. This collection brings together some of the most loved and enduring tales of this mighty god and his sons, Karttikeya and Ganesha.
