Śiva is the god of yogins and the destroyer of worlds, and for his devotees the supreme reality who creates, sustains and dissolves all things. He is worshipped in the form of the liṅga and imagined as an ascetic on Mount Kailāsa and as the cosmic dancer. Kashmir Śaivism understands him as pure consciousness.
