Bhasma
According to belief, it is said that when his first wife, Sati, the incarnation of Adishakti, self-immolated herself, Shiva couldnтАЩt control his anger, pain, and agony, so he ran away with her corpse. It was then when Lord Vishnu touched Sati and her corpse turned it into ashes. Unable to bear the loss of his wife, Shiva covered his entire body with her ashes as a sign that she will be with him forever.
