The other two gods are Brahma and Vishnu respectively. Shiva (or Siva) is one of the chief deities of Hinduism. His name means "Auspicious One." Devotees of Shiva are called "Saivites." Shiva is known by many other names, including Sambhu ("Benignant"), Samkara ("Beneficent"), Pasupati ("Lord of Beasts"), Mahesha ("Great Lord") and Mahadeva ("Great God"). Shiva is a paradoxical deity: "both the destroyer and the restorer, the great ascetic and the symbol of sensuality, the benevolent herdsman of souls and the wrathful avenger." In the most famous myth concerning Shiva, he saves humanity by holding in his throat the poison that churned up in the waters and threatened mankind. For this reason he is often depicted with a blue neck.

Please feel free to contact the temple on matters regarding religion and culture, and, if the case be, on any other appropriate matter too.

The appropriate person will come back to you. One of the aims of The Bristol Hindu Temple is to help out people in need of help. (Humanity in-hand-in-hand with Godliness.)
