In India and Southeast Asia, the tiger is considered the king of animals, so in these regions he is entrusted with the symbolic functions that the lion and bear performed in the West. The tiger is both a solar and a lunar beast. Since this predator sees perfectly in the dark, it has often been associated with night and the world of death. In Hinduism, the tiger often acts as an attribute of evil gods and demons. In iconography, the god-destroyer Shiva and the goddess of death Kali are often depicted riding a tiger or wearing tiger skin capes. At the same time, the tiger was a sign of the caste of rulers and warriors - kshatriyevi symbolized royal dignity, power, strength, military valor and courage.
