Shaivism (also Saivam or Saivism) is one of the major branches of Hinduism along with Vaishnavism, Shaktism, and Smartism. It reveres Shiva as the Supreme Being. It is also known as śaiva paṁtha (Sanskrit:शैव पंथ; lit. "pantha associated with Shiva") and Saivam (Tamil:சைவம்). Followers of Shaivam are called "Shaivas" (also "Saivas", "Shaivites" or "Saivarkal"). They believe that Shiva is All and in all, the creator, preserver, destroyer, revealer and concealer of all that is. Shaivism, like some of the other forms of Hinduism, spread to other parts of Southeast Asia, including Java, Bali, and parts of the Southeast Asian continent, including Cambodia.
