Comma necessary in "Forms and depictions" section
There may be an issue with the article. Under the section "Forms and depictions", in the sub-section "Ascetic and householder" is the following sentence: "As a family man and householder, he has a wife, Parvati and two sons, Ganesha and Kartikeya". If I know my grammar right, there should be a comma after "Parvati", because, if there isn't any, it sounds like his wife's name is "Parvati and two sons". If someone could add this comma, that would be great. Thank you in advance, and have a nice day! 90.139.189.126 (talk) 15:10, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Add the film Oppenheimer to the section on popular culture. Oppenheimer reads Sanskrit and considers himself like a kind of Shiva for creating a nuclear bomb. 5.27.6.147 (talk) 07:10, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

 * This is gibberish. I don't mean to be unkind, but I think you should stick to editing in your native language, because it's clear you do not speak English, even though you may you think you do. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 08:58, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

I would like to inform an popular, alternate and very important name for Shiva that is not mentioned in this article. Shiva is also referred to as Lord Isar/Eesar, in the Northwestern States of India such as Rajastan, Haryana, and Punjab. One source for this is "The Religions of India: A Concise Guide to Nine Major Faiths", which on this page(https://books.google.com/books?id=pNmfdAKFpkQC&pg=PA123#v=onepage&q&f=false) describes the Ganguar festival involving Shiva as going by the name Isar. Secondly, in the Sikh Japji Sahib, an important religious source written in 1604, in Pauri 9(https://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Japji_Sahib_Pauri_9) Shiva is referred to as Eesar. I hope you can add this as an alternate name for Shiva along Mahadeva and Hara, as shown below:

"Shiva (/ˈʃɪvə/; Sanskrit: शिव, lit. 'The Auspicious One', IAST: Śiva [ɕɪʋɐ]), also known as Mahadeva (/məˈhɑː ˈdeɪvə/; Sanskrit: महादेव:, lit. 'The Great God', IAST: Mahādevaḥ, [mɐɦaːd̪eːʋɐh)[9][10][11], Hara,[12] or Isar[you can use my sources from above], is one of the principal deities of Hinduism.[13] He is the Supreme Being in Shaivism, one of the major traditions within Hinduism.[14]" Vgolf31 (talk) 13:39, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
