Lord Shiva was a native deity which was worshipped by larger cultures over centuries. The debate of Lord Shiva being a Dravadian or Aryan God is never ending. As per the claims of Dravadians, they believe that Lord Shiva was a Dravadian who was later seized by the northern Aryans. But contradictory to that Lord Shiva has always been a great deity in Varanasi, Kashmir, Kedarnath and Kailas in the north with Holy river Ganga flowing above his head. This will require an in depth study to get to the claims of both the groups.
