As per Hindu mythology, Shiva is as entitled ‘The Destroyer’ as he is considered as the detrimental facet of Brahman. This is the only attribute or characteristic of Lord Shiva and there are many groups of people who consider Lord Shiva, associated deities or any of his different forms as the principal God and give different titles to him. However, worshipping Lord Shiva with the best pandit services in Varanasi is done in a broader sense or eclectic way whereas some groups or castes prefer their own specific style of puja. Furthermore, normal worshipping of Lord Shiva is very different and it can range from offering prayers to an anthropomorphic Murti (Such as the famous Tamil Nataraja statues from the ancient Chola Kingdom), a Lingam (one of Shiva’s main symbols), a deified landmark (such as the Ganges or Mount Kailash) or not worshipping a symbol at all (as in the case of the Lingayats).
The Puranas, a collection of texts explain the various achievements, skills, and figures of different Gods from Hindu Cosmology. This collection of texts is structured in a well-ordered way with a major focus on Devas representing the achievements and strengths of those Gods. The most significant attribute of Lord Shiva is Shiva Purana showcasing various mythological stories and origins of Puja implements and interdictions. An example might be the interdiction of offering Magnolia champaca and Ketaki flowers to Shiva, each given a justification grounded in an episode from mythology.

It is known that Shiva wears Snake God (Nageshwara) as an ornament around his neck. Furthermore, it is believed that the fragrance of Aloe attracts snake and thus, it is used a holy item in the process of worshipping Lord Shiva.
However, it is believed that Lord Vishnu is Alankara Priyar (Desirous of ornamentation). Hence, Vishnu Sthalas (places of worship of Lord Vishnu) have elaborately carved idols of Lord Vishnu with the alankaram (decoration ceremony) post the Abhishekam, being a very elaborate ritual.
