‘Shiva’, in Sanskrit, means ‘the auspicious one’. While the Destroyer aspect of the universe’s three stages of existence, he is often depicted as a yogi, adorning the symbols of simplicity and asceticism.
An ice shivaling, symbolising the manifestation of Lord Shiva, is presented in the Haveli entrance on the day of Shivaratri providing a reminder of the sacred pilgrimage town of Amarnath in India where a natural ice shivaling exists.
