Shiva is the destroyer and destroys all of the old or useless so that new can be created. He is part of the on-going circle of life and one of the three main gods.

He is also known as Lord of the Dance and is most often portrayed as the image here: the dancer in red.

Shiva was married to Parvati and together they created another of the most well known Hindu gods: Ganesh.

Note the third (red) eye in the middle of his forehead. A coconut is often an offering to Shiva because it too has three eyes.

See the gifts of flowers and fruit given to the gods of the shrine.

Brahma  is the creator god. At his own command Brahma can divide himself into any sort of life and so can populate the world after Shiva has destroyed it ready for new creation.

Vishnu seems the most powerful of the three main gods. He is the sustainer and preserver of creation.
