Siva is the deity that is worshipped all over the country by all classes of people; and the literature on Siva, Saiva Agama and Saiva pantheon is immense, and there are also numerous shrines in India where Siva is worshipped in one form or (or aspect) or another. The available matter therefore justifies two volumes on the subject. We hope the scholars and students interested in Indian culture would welcome this publication.
