Important things to know about Shiva Murtis

 Shiva, the God of the Gods, is one of the most powerful Gods in Hindu mythology. He is also the most popular deity among all the Hindu deities. Worshipped not only across the Indian continent, but everywhere wherever there is a Hindu, Lord Shiva is regarded as the God who is responsible for maintaining the cycle of existence. Shiva is the one who maintains the beginning of the universe and he is the one who keeps a check on the end as well. Shiva is the god of Moksha (liberation from reincarnation). He blesses his followers with eternal happiness. While Shiva is very easy to please, if while placing the statues of Shiva someone commits some mistakes, he can bring upon the wrath of the Bholenath too.
