Marshall identified the figure which he found during excavation as an early form of the Hindu God Shiva (or Rudra) or Pashupati (lord of animals) from the excavation of Harappa. The Pashupati seal in which the three faced male God is shown sitting in a yogic posture, surrounded by a Rhino and a Buffalo on the right side, an Elephant and a Tiger on the left side, makes the historian conclude that the people of those days worshipped Lord Shiva or cylindrical stones show that the people worshipped Lingam, the symbol of Lord Shiva.
