In Hindu cosmology, creation and destruction follow a cyclical pattern known as the samsara, which represents the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. This cycle is governed by the law of Karma, where actions in one life dictate the circumstances of future lives. The cycle of creation is often depicted through gods like Brahma (creator), while Shiva represents destruction, signifying renewal. This interdependence emphasizes the ongoing nature of existence and the balance between all aspects of life.
