Shiva is a major deity in Hinduism, known as the God of Destruction. He emerged from a blend of influences, including the Central Asian Wind God Wesho and local Vedic deities.
“For instance, some scholars have suggested that seals from the Indus Valley Civilization depict the Hindu God of Destruction, Shiva. However, this is unlikely, as historians have shown through numismatic and literary evidence that Shiva rose out of a mixture of the Central Asian Wind God Wesho and local Vedic deities in the first half of the First Millennium CE.”
