He is one of the Trimurthies (trinity) in charge of destruction. He lives on Mount Kailasa and wears an elephant’s skin as shawo and the crescent on his head. He is the abode of peace and rides on Nandi the bull,
Shivam shivakaram, shantham shivathmanam, Shivothamam,
Shivamarga pranetharam, pranamai sada Shivam.
Salutations to the ever peaceful Lord Sada Shiva,
Who is the abode of peace?
Who makes peace?
Who is peaceful?
Who is the soul of peace?
Who is the acme of peace?
And who shows the path of Shiva.
