Shaivism is a branch of Hinduism whose followers worship
Shiva as their chief god. Shiva in the Vedas is called Rudra. He is also called Pashupati, the lord of beings.
Shiva is the heart of consciousness, just as Vishnu is the moral
law.
Vishnu and Shiva are sometimes visualized as a single divinity named Harihara.
