Lord Shiva never takes Avatars, He is called Ayonija, who never stays in he womb.
However there are a number of instances when He appeared and vanished.
I had assumed, such being the case there could be no footprints of Lord Shiva as such.
How wrong could I be?
Some go the extent of saying that , for a Vaishnavite, visiting Shiva's Temple is equivalent to getting afflicted with Brahmahathi Dosha!
This was sent to me by a Vaishnavite friend of Mine, I am more ofa Vaishnavite in terms of understanding Their sampraday as I am from Srivilliputtur, and sent a detailed reply quoting the Vedas and Purans.
The gentleman who said so, I was informed grinned sheepishly and told my friend,
"Who is going to read all this?'
I am passing on what is being practiced, it is good for us!'
I have recently posted articles on Siva Stuthi by Krishna and Vishnu Stuthi By Shiva.
Let me quote from Srimad Bhagatham, the greatest Puran among all the Purans as it speaks of the Devotees of Lord Vishnu.
It is the greatest among the Purans as the Devotee is Greater that the God.
