 Benevolent Shiva with Ferocious Eyes
The Rigvedic divinities, who were either atmospheric or celestial deities, were subsequently remodeled and renamed in the Brahmanical literature.
We do not have the name of that pre-Vedic god, and we are also not sure if he transformed into Rudra in the Rigvedic and later Vedic period.
Moreover, some scholars believe that in the pre-Vedic period, the people of the Indus valley civilization used to worship a god who was in some respects similar to the Puranic representation of Shiva-Pashupati.
