Shiva
18th century | L. Gstettner
Both Buddhists and Hindus worship gods and saints meditating in the solitude of the mountains. In Hinduism, the god Shiva is often depicted as withdrawn from the world and living an ascetic life in the Himalayas, while the Buddhist role model for attaining spiritual knowledge is Milarepa.
