Shivaji, the destroyer of the universe, is considered to be one of the three main gods. Unlike other gods, Shiva is not worshiped as an idol but as a linga. The Shiva family includes Lord Shankar, mother Parvati and their sons Ganesha and Kartikeya. Okha, a daughter of Shivaji, is also mentioned in the Puranas, but is generally not counted in the Shiva family. Apart from this, Hanuman, tortoise and pothiyo are also found in Shiva temples along with Shiva family. In South India, Kartikeya is known as Murugan Swami. There are separate temples of Hanuman and Ganesha in Gujarat but there is no separate temple of Kartikeya or if it is found in Shivalaya (Shiva temple), the reason is that in Gujarat Kartikeya is not worshiped as a god.Since Lord Dattatreya is considered to be the incarnation of Kartikeya, his followers worship Kartikeya.Every difficulty of a human being chanting Om Naam: Shivaya is removed.Other names of Shiva: -Shankar,Mahadev,Shambhu,Her,Ashutosh,Chandramouli,Pinakpani,Rudra,Bholanath,Nilkanth,
