Explanation

Shiva embodies paradoxical qualities - he is an ascetic yet associated with eroticism (the erotic ascetic), depicted as Ardhanarishvara (half male, half female), has three eyes (trinetra), and is also a householder with Parvati and their children. All these descriptions capture different aspects of his complex nature.
