Siva is a member of the Rajian Pantheon and a goddess of destruction and anarchy. She has a temple in Pakat that lies beneath a temple dedicated to Ratri. Those who come to give offerings at the temple do not know they are giving offerings to Siva instead of Ratri.[1]
Siva has a dedicated room in Mahakala.[2]
The Rajian goddess Siva is clearly inspired by an aspect of Siva (or Shiva), an important god of destruction and creation in Hinduism. However, in addition to the oddity of being worshipped as a goddess instead of a god, in Sri Raji Siva seems to be worshipped only in her destructive aspect. This deceptively narrow view of Siva would seem to be blatant interference on the part of the Dark Powers. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva for more information.
