The Harappan civilization, also known as the Indus Valley Civilization, has left behind numerous figurines and seals that have been interpreted by some scholars as early representations of deities that later became part of Hinduism. Among these, some figurines and seals are thought to depict a figure in a yogic posture, sometimes referred to as "Pashupati" (lord of animals), which has been associated with Shiva, one of the principal deities of Hinduism.
