A popular syncretism in Hinduism is the god Harihara (Hari being a title of Vishnu and Hara of Shiva). Harihara is worshipped in the form of an icon which combines characteristics of both gods.
The cult of Harihara became
popular in South India where the deity is still worshipped. The Harihara
temples were built by Vijayanagara ruler.
