Chandrashekara:
In the form of Chandrashekhara, Lord Shiva is depicted with a headpiece shaped like the moon, Chandra. But pictures of Chandrashekhara are not the only ones that feature this emblem. Shiva Chandrashekhara wears an antelope in his rear left hand and an axe (parashu) in his rear right. The left hand is in the charity stance (varada mudra), while the front right hand is in the protective hand pose (abhaya tudra). Shiva, the god Chandrashekhara assumes the samabhanga posture, which is erect and inflexed. He has a head (perhaps meant to be a skull) in his headdress, snake jewelry, finger and toe rings, a loin robe made of tiger hide, and earrings (kundalas) shaped like the mythological reptile makara. In certain depictions, Shiva is portrayed wielding a trident (trishula), a noose (pasha), a drum (damaru), etc. in accordance with his shape. The accounts about Shiva Chandrashekhara's acquisition of these items vary. He once fought certain sages, or rishis, who are supposed to have sent snakes, tigers, lions, and demons to support their curses and efforts to subdue him. However, he vanquished each of them and employed them as emblems of his triumph. Shiva Chandrashekhara's moon is a representation of his creative abilities. At the end of the universe, he wears a garland of skulls to represent his destructive might. Another example of how gods thrive in Hindu iconography is the depiction of Shiva Chandrashekhara. In one form, Shiva Chandrashekhara is the same as the one opposite, but he is accompanied by his wife Uma. In the other form, they are depicted together, but in one, he has wrapped his left arm around her left shoulder.
