Shiva is also regarded as the patron god of yoga and arts.

Shiva is usually worshipped in the an iconic form of Lingam.Shiva of the highest level is limitless, transcendent, unchanging and formless.However, Shiva also has many benevolent and fearsome forms.In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash,as well as a householder with wife Parvati and two sons, Ganesha and Kartikeya or as the Cosmic Dancer. In fierce aspects, he is often depicted slaying demons. The most recognizable iconographic-al attributes of the god are a third eye on his forehead, a snake around his neck, the crescent moon adorning and the river Ganga flowing from his matted hair, the trishula as his weapon and the damaru as his instrument.Shiva as we know him today shares features with the Vedic god Rudra.

About Shiva Sahasranamam:

There are two versions of Shiva sahasranama-one in linga Purana (Being taught by Lord Krishna) and the other which occurs in Anushasanika Parva of Mahabaratha.

In the Mahabaratha version,Yudishtra after hearing the Vishnu Sahasranama from Bheeshma requests him also to teach the thousand names of Lord Shiva. Bheeshma expresses his inability to the same and requests Lord Krishna to teach it to Yudishtra. Then Lord Krishna who has learnt it from Sage Upamanyu teaches it to Yudishtra.
