Shaivism or Śaivism (Sanskrit: शैव पंथ, Śaiva Paṁtha, lit. "Shiva's Path"), also known as Shivaism (Nepali: शिव पथ) and Saivam (Tamil: சைவம்), is one of the major branches of Sanathan Dharma (Hinduism), revering Shiva as the Supreme Being. Shiva is sometimes depicted as the fierce god Bhairava. Followers of Shaivam are called "Shaivas", "Saivas", "Shaivites", or "Saivarkal". They believe that Shiva is All and in all, the creator, preserver, destroyer, revealer and concealer of all that is. Shaivism, like some of the other forms of Hinduism, spread to other parts of Southeast Asia, including Java, Bali, and parts of the Southeast Asian continent, including Cambodia.
